Comments:
I knew I had a few obligations that would take me away for several hours at
scattered times, so I decided to try QRP. I had operated QRP in some domestic
contests, but never seriously in a DX (and domestic) contest. For most of the
day it was very difficult, but in the late afternoon and evening everything
magically got better and almost everyone I called heard me without too many
repeats. There were a handful of stations that could never hear me, but seemed
to have good signals on my end (9M6, YD, BA, VR2). Other than those few that I
thought would have heard me for sure on LP, and the occasional multiple repeats
I had to send, there was not too much different from my typical LP effort. Rig:
K3. Ants: 3 ele. SteppIR at 60 ft, 402CD at 55 ft, and 80M inverted vee at 50
ft.
