This was my first REMOTE contest, it was really fun and I only had some logical problems due to lack of experience and because the station is still in development.
The worst part was not being able to listen the sidetone through SmartLink, which seems to me something fundamental that the people of Flex should work on.

This contest was absolutely different to all the ones I have participated in previously; with the company and the assistance of my Family special with my wife, taking advantage of the available technology to #STAYHOME and #STAYSAFE.

I want to thank Dany ZP5DBC for her trust and for letting me operate her station that is going to become a very competitive one in South America.

Also Thank Lucas ZY5T(PP5KR) and Edgar ZP6/HC5WC (KG2RG) for the compani during the constet.

Very rare and strange propagation conditions, perhaps as a consequence of an announced blackout after the Solar Flares in Friday, which hopefully are the clue that the propagation is starting to rise from now.

The amplifier turned off on Saturday morning and I never knew until Dany arrived at the station around noon, so I spent several hours with just 40w at Saturday morning. For the next one, remote control of the amplifier will be essential.

Setup
Flex 6400
Acom 2000A
Antenna 5/5 (lowered fix to NA)

On my end:
Maestro and N1MM
QSOs without DUPE

I always use Wintest but unfortunately I had trouble setting up the transmission: The separation time between letters was too long and despite having tried to fix it for hours, I could not do it.
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.

Thanks for being in my LOG, see you in the next one!
