I hadn't planned on working this one at all but got rained out of
working this weekend. Always wanted to try a contest QRP so I opened up
the TS450, cranked it
down to 5 watts and had at it. Tough going except for a phenomenal run
early Sunday afternoon. Ran for about an hour and a half solid on 20
which definitely helped my score. Thanks to all of those who struggled
to pull out my exchange. This is a fun contest. My only suggestion
would be to change the 10 Meter suggested frequency from 28.310 to
something outside the recognized non-contest window of 28.3 - 28.5.
This, of course didn't impact my score since 10M never opened here to
PA. I did hear W3HA on 15M but he couldn't hear me.
