Club or Team Name: Good Sloop "Honah Lee"
Comments:
Operated from the 27' sailboat Honah Lee at anchor in the harbor
of Noank, Connecticut, with QRP and battery power.
Rig was a Ten-Tec Argosy set for QRP. All QSOs except 2 were CW.
For the antenna, we loaded the (steel cable) forestay of the sailboat
with a tuner,and it worked surprisingly well on 80-20 meters. For ground
we
trailed radials in the saltwater. There were some mechanical
problems with the 10~15 meter antenna and we lost it on installation.
Back to the drawing board!
Weather held out; only a few light showers between 0600 and 1000 Z
Sunday.
Good time had by both operators, and we beat our 1999 score from RI by
8%!
