George put in a single-op with packet effort and had the best
run to the left coast that he can remember.....
G3LNS 274qso 66 countries 41 states/provs 216033
Vic was using the G0NAA superstation on the east coast of Yorkshire
G4BYG 500 qso 69 countries 31 states/provs 302200
G3ZEM told me last nite that he had worked 109 so far in 1995, but
thank goodness his logging program was telling untruths, he's still
beating me though, I'm on 87 worked in 95, he's on 93, we've not broken
the "DXCC in one month" challenge!!

Subject: QRP and Contesting -- opinions wanted!
Message-ID: <Pine.3.89.9502012147.B14338-0100000@world.std.com>
Hi all --
I'm writing an article about using QRP in contests and I'd like some help.
Specifically, comments on any or all of the following would be appreciated:
Do you have any opinions about working QRP stations? Do you look on them
positively or do you see them as a plot to lower your rate and steal your
run frequency?
Do you have any pet peeves/suggestions about operating techniques used by
QRPers? Do you follow any guidelines about how weak a station you'll work
or, how long you'll try to copy them?
Have you ever tried QRP (in a contest) or have any interest in doing so?
Do you have any thoughts on any QRP-related rule changes?
Please reply directly to me. If I get interesting stuff, I'll summarize to
the list.
Thanks...
73... howie
