2011 ARRL 10 GHz and Up Contest

10/14/2011 | WA6JBD

Never, EVER put power to your rig at 1:30 AM the morning of the contest as you're loading up to go. Somehow got the +12v onto the -24v input. Ah, well, the sequencer took the hit for the rest of the rig. Spent most of Saturday building a new sequencer board (all SMT construction, BTW), and was back in the running by saturday evening. Running 10 GHz mobile in motion is a BLAST!  The rig can reconfigure from a 30 watt monster on a 4 foot dish to a car roof mag mount 5 watts to a slot antenna.
