I have had a lot of experience over the last couple years working DX with QRP
FT-8. But I was surprised at how difficult it was to work USA stations in this
contest! Almost all were 569 or over. Weaker than that and they just couldn't
hear me.
It was a lot of fun to casually do a contest. I'd pop my head in and work a few
more from time to time! ...Bill W8QZA - W6QU
