Bubble bath:
A very casual effort. Started at 0100z after I scanned the bands
earlier and heard a soft hiss indicative of no antenna or worse....A
FLARE!!
Decided to go QRP for the fun of it. Started off calling a +40 K9BGL on
40M. Went sort of like this:
CQ SS K9Boston Germany London
K7Fox Radio
CQ SS K9Boston Germany London
K7Florida Radio
CQ SS K9Boston Germany London
K7Fox Radio
CQ SS K9Boston Germany London
K7Fox Radio
CQ SS K9Boston Germany London
ARGGGGGH...........oh yeah....QRP....now I remember.......
So off I went S&P-ing. Managed to bump the rate-o-meter to 133 for the
last 10 as I cruised up the band. Amazing how easy the hard ones are
when you not really trying. VY1A was pleading for contacts on 20! Put
together a small run on 20. QRP isn't so bad.....until I went to
80.....
Ran across WP3R with 2,700+ in the log.....wow....Rich seems like such a
mild mannered guy too.....good show!
See you all in CQWW CW......I'm girding my loins for the JA
runs......after all I'll need lots of burro cards to tide me over until
I rebuild my station some time in the future.
