[IRCA] First Rockworks impression

[Nicholas Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, New Zealand you say.   Why, yes, one or two.   Both Tom and I
suffered minor disasters, but I think we've recorded a few bits of DX just
the same.

I know I heard Trackside on 549 and 828 plus Sport on 693, 774 and
792...but not 1503; conditions really favored the bottom of the band.
More listening to the NetSDR recordings will be required. I do like those
NZ parallels

Disasters?   Tom seemed to have been fed a Windows 10 update that made his
Perseus mute; fortunately, there was a netbook available that had Perseus
software on it and was still functional.  Thank you Windows 8.  So we have
Perseus recordings through the peak of the opening.

For me, battery and external battery on my laptop died in the middle of the
opening, not long after we got Tom back into business.  Also fortunately, a
spare laptop battery was available and was frantically installed,
accompanied by various bad words.   I thought those batteries were all
charged up.  Ahem.

Still two more days.  Hope we have all the kinks ironed out now.

best wishes,

Nick
