Flex 6500 worked great in NAQP CW

As an owner of a contest station I am continually evaluating new technology.   As a contester I have been hesitant to take my 6500 into battle.  Well the weekend brought me some time, and so I decided to do a test run of my flex, using N1MM + in the recent NAQP CW contest.  I operated in very simple conditions, not from my contest station but with a SteppIR dipole on my roof of my neighborhood QTH and low power.  Although this was a very limited test the concept of contesting with this rig Its showing definite early promise.  Combined  with K6TU control I was able to operate effectively and was shocked of amount of stations worked in a short time from such a meager neighborhood setup.  With the added benefit of seeing everything going on as a great side benefit. 

I am very excited for more improvements that will add additional contest features to this rig.  As the folks that make those popular little black boxes (that are just a bit down the sherwood scale) out there have found out.. if the contesters embrace the platform...  Game on!

Keep up the good work and excited for 1.4!

I will post more as my efforts,testing and scores get more serious.. and try more modes.
