Comments:
FIRST AND LAST TIME I TRY 160/QRP FROM THIS QTH. ADMIRE THOSE LADS ON THE
OTHER
SIDE OF THE CASCADE AND ROCKY MOUNTAINS WHO WERE ABLE TO COPY ME, SOME WITH
GREAT DIFFICULTY I ADMIT. MY 80M VERTICAL LOOP ORIENTED NORTH/SOUTH SEEMED
TO WORK QUITE WELL. BIG PROBLEM; TOO OLD, AND LIKE WATCHING MY TV, THEREFORE
UNABLE TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME CONTESTING AS I WOULD LIKE. VERY HEAVY NOISE
HERE MOST OF THE TIME. MUST HAVE CALLED ABOUT 600 STATIONS DURING MY SPELL,
WITH NO LUCK. MOST OF THE COPYABLE STATIONS ON THE SECOND DAY WERE THE ONES
I HAD ALREADY WORKED. FOUND EAST COAST VERY/VERY DIFFICULT. CONDITIONS
APPEARED TO BE QUITE GOOD THOUGH INTO WWA/EWA/NV AND CA FOR ME. MISSED OUT
ON THE KV4/JA/P40/VR2/ZL/KL7 STATIONS I BARELY HEARD. PILE UPS TOO BIG FOR MY
5 WATTS.
