Glad to be back in the NAQP game! Due to an overseas assignment, during the
past 7 years I was limited to QRP contesting from HB9 using a magnetic loop on
the balcony of an apartment that had enough rebar in it to qualify and function
as a bomb shelter. So good to be able to participate again in these contests.
My radios went on an extended DXpedition during the last 4 months in the process
of being shipped with our household goods from HB9 to Montana. The rigs visited
or spent time in HB9, DL, F, ON, VO1, W4, HK, HP, W6 (4 weeks offshore) and W7
(2.5 weeks offshore), then 4 weeks in a warehouse waiting for the holidays to
pass and the passes to open to get to MT. Everything arrived the day before the
CW leg of the NAQP so obviously no participation in that (didn't even know which
boxes the rigs were in). With what was found this week, I was able to cobble
together an SSB station with some significant limitations (magnetic loop
antenna, not quite enough clamp-on ferrite, hand-held microphone and a foreign
language keyboard). Cut the operating time short to get back to unpacking boxes
from the move. Hope to find the rest of the radio bits and string proper
full-size antennas before the next contest.
Thanks for the Qs!
73, Scott, KT0P
