Comments:
This was my first NAQP. Prodded by N6RO's club boosterism, I modified my
CQPWIN (ver. 8.0) software to work for NA, and decided to give it a try. As
Ken had promised, this is a great contest to practice two radios. I must say,
operating low power has real attractions: it simplifies band changing, reduces
so2r interference and allowed me to work qsk on both radios (which definitely
improved efficiency). Lots of noise on 40 and 80 -- strangely, 40m was quieter
on the 2d radio vertical than on the 2 el beam. I'm so used to having higher
noise levels on the vertical that it was a shock to be able actually to use it
on 40! Thanks to the 4 stns who managed to hear my 160 signal out of my 80m
dipole! With 10m, this would have been a real blast.
73 and see you in two weeks, Andy, AE6Y
