To spare you the details:
Score: 87,530 points
Station: Icom IC-751 @ 5w and 400 ft vee beam sloping down the side of the
mountain. Cushcraft R7000 vertical.
Comments: Not a peep heard on 10 meters. Not even a station calling DX
was heard. Surprised how well I did on 80m with qrp.
One of the factors in going qrp is the fact that I no longer have a
competitive
station since moving to this tree and mountain infested NC. There are
several
stations in East Europe that need to align their receivers. Big signal but
no rx.
