Great fun...qrp with a wet-noodle antenna is quite a ride. Lots of familiar
calls. Heard a TON of DX but nobody heard me.
I took a "good shot" at calculating the score by hand. I didn't have that many
qsos and even less grids, so it wasn't that bad...and even kinda fun:
http://www.chris.org/cgi-bin/finddis
Rig: FT817 - 4.5 watts measured output except where swr goes up (then less)
CT: (ARRL VHF SS mode)
Ant: 1/2 wave wire at 45 feet in center and 6 feet at ends (it's still up!).
Runs over the house and clears the roof by about 4 feet. Had to yank on one end
to free it from the snow on the roof and then raise it up to clear the roof
(raised to 45 feet at center).
Best DX was DM37 (from FN20).
Not sure that a 2:1 "bonus" for LP/qrp entries is enough.
1500 = x1
100 = x2 (that's more than 10 db less or 1/10th, so mult = x10?)
<5 = x4 (that 13 db less again, so x20 [for the 13 db] x10 [for LP] =x200!).
Oh well, I can dream can't I?
mx/hh es hny!

PS...when you only copy KR2????? and you can't hear the signal, it's me!
