In the middle of the #CQWW contest, my SO2R Mini+ started to generate illegible Morse code. I didn't have the nerve to debug this during the contest, so I continued with a changed setup. Today I finally found some time to analyze the problem. Turns out something went wrong with the K3NG keyer firmware; the dots were normal but the dashes were almost infinitely short (1st picture). Re-flashing the Arduino and even (or so I though) deleting the EEPROM didn't fix this. However, after I resetted the keyer by holding both dot and dash paddle held down, everything was back to normal. This confuses me; I wish I could have understood what setting was corrupted, but at least it works again and I know how to fix it next time. This also sort of fulfills the @hamchallenge challenge for week 45 🙂
#HC45S -
Let's try a 10fer for @hamchallenge : :alex_crazy:
I went out today for POTA RO-0109 #HC29S in front of this communist mammoth #HC13S, operated all day on 36Ah #HC36S (ha!). I worked one DX, the ITU HQ, out of today's DXpeds PJ4M, VP8DPD and V73MT #HC07S, 14 DXCCs #HC37s, plus all xOTA #HC16S I heard. I had 20 contacts on CW #HC38S including @YO3AX and @G0TRT. I even heard F4JRC on 6m #HC28S. I fixed my audio card #HC45S and used the antenna I built with the YL #HC33S.
Details follow.
