Hi Cecil,
I use a K1 running 5 watts on 160m from a condo with a wire off the deck into
the woods
and 'creative' radials.
One day a miracle happened and KH7O was calling CQ and heard my signal
from NH and I was hooked. Don't know how it happened but he was there all
alone and we exchanged reports.
Nothing like that has happened since :-)) But hope springs eternal..

And QRPers will be carried around on peoples shoulders
instead of being shunned and scorned :-))
Long live the Stew !!!
We will all be in it.

Yes!
A July Stew Perry. Unlike the other DX oriented contests,
the SP'S scoring is "finely grained", so the scarecity of
DX will not result in too much of an advantage to the few
"summer-DX-capable" east/west-coasters.
