Comments:
I operated a bit of this contest for the sole purpose of finding new
countries.... didn't find much. Most of them were just countries that QRZ
says
use LoTW, so I figured I'd try and get a LoTW confirmation out of it.
I came down into the shack Saturday afternoon to work some of the contest.
Planned on working quite a bit, but my mistake was thinking that I would do
it
QRP (hard on SSB). Ten minutes later I left, frustrated and annoyed. Spent
the
rest of the afternoon replacing my 40 ft. 40 year old piece of RG-58 coax
with
RG-8. Didn't quite complete the job, but left the old RG-58 on so I could
still
work the contest.
At 6 o'clock on Sunday I came down, cranked the power up to 100w, and worked
about 11 countries. I felt like one of those S&P stations in a M/M, just
looking for new mults. For me I was looking for new countries.
Hopefully when I finish replacing this coax, the antenna system will make
QRP
SSB a LOT easier.
