If you need any assistance with settings or get lost in the setup, contact me and we can help you over the phone. If we need to do screen shares, I use the free screen sharing program called Anydesk.  Don't forget about your network time protocol program also to make FT8/FT4 work.

The brake solenoid will normally make an obvious hum since it runs on AC. When activated, the brake wedge will make a loud THWACK as it retracts. If it doesn’t, it’s stuck, or there’s a wiring problem.

Thanks for replying.

This is certainly no hum, its much louder, probably like a non stop series of thwacks.

Some sort of directional RX antenna should allow you to null out the East Coast stations and hear the Europeans.
With my array of 8 flag antennas it is rare that I can't hear a European station.  When conditions are good I can work the really weak Europeans on 80.
I don't see anything wrong with trying to put as many different European stations as I can in the log on 160 and 80 meters.
I get a really high percentage of paper QSLs doing that so I assume they want the QSOs.

Boy, I see the east coasters working EU all night on 80 and sit there and wish they'd qrx so we can hear them better out here.......No way.
The feeling is mutual when something super-rare in Asia comes on and only the big guns can break through the West Coast Wall. It has ever been thus.

It reminds me of a very famous parody of short wave broadcast stations from back in the day called Radio Morania. There was a funny song that was part of the first episode, linked here.

The main principle at work here is:  You, the DXer, aren't promised anything by anybody.  By default, you expect everyone to be out for themselves.

That said, I think the excuses given here for pigging out are just that -- excuses.  They just wanna work everything, but seem to feel the need to talk about target practice -- or something -- to justify it.

It is much healthier to admit that someone working 26 slots just plain wants to do it.  Own the desire.  It's real and part of the game. 

Fact is, there is no significant award out there for someone who works all 26 slots on a DXpedition.  Does it deny some lesser station?  Probably.  Does it deny someone nearer antipodes with an excellent station?  Maybe.

But, again, nobody is promised anything.  If you want it, you have to overcome jamming and the DX hogs.  Besides, not that many manage to make that many slots happen.  Look at the numbers on Clublog.  Very few actually manage the pig out trick.

Still, I've always thought it a little selfish to fill out a bingo card like that.  Many DXpeditions (the ones that are subsidizing me) often wish to discourage such hijinks.  They want to hand out ATNOs or at least new DXCC Challenge points, not point-less QSOs.

So, if nothing else, it shows a little respect to people that end up forking over a buck out of their own pocket for every QSO made to do as they ask.  Costs me nothing and I still end up, in extremis with seven or eight Qs.

Besides, to me, pileups are a means to an end, not an end in themselves.  If I got the counter I need, then I don't need to sit in the dentist chair all over again for nothing save the thrill of the chase.  Once band, once a mode, is plenty for me.

CY0S was easy to work and we all should have expected it to  be easy to work.
Depends on the band. To this day I've never worked or even heard Sable Island on 10 or 12m SSB. This operation I couldn't even hear them on 10 CW!

As for 1A0, which is located right smack dab in the middle of the bear's cage known as southern Europe, and actually inside the second-least-needed DXCC entity in the world, I'd take my chances piggying out on Sable I. from Europe than I would clearing the table of SMOM from New Jersey. I still have a ton of holes to fill in my 1A0 Bingo card.
