Had a great time in the TX QSO Party this weekend. Continued my
training of my currently unlicensed brother-in-law. Hes looking
forward to the next contest that we can do a multi-operator. Thats
probably going to be Field Day.
First 6 hours netted 100+ q's per hour. It went down hill from there.
10 meters - Dead
15 meters - Dead (even tried setting up some skeds)
20 meters - excellent
40 meters - went long.
80 meters - static and the usual crowd
160 meters - no antenna
WB5M, Multi-Single, 1500 watts, West Texas, Potter County
1419 q's by 77 mults for 218,526 (before scrubbing)
Station:
TS-850
Amp Supply LK-500 900 watts out
Antennas:
10,15,20: Force12 C3

P.S. Its a good weekend to have a qso party as there were two other
state qso partys (CT and MA) as well as the cw county hunters qso
party.
