Comments:
Got on a couple of hours late at the start up. Best part of the contest was my
first QSO when I turned on the rig and there was Jay, VY1JA on 15m booming in
S9+10db. After about 5 calls, Jay was in my log at the beginning of the SS
test. 15, 20, and 40m were pretty good for the QRP. 75m was impossible as the
5 watts just couldn't be heard except by very strong signals. After 10.5 hours
of agravation calling people with 5 watts, I finally gave up on Sunday and
turned off the rig when a N6 with 59 + signal would CQ in my face despite 5 or
6 calls. So, I went in the other room and watched a pretty good football
game...
Rig: IC756 and RBF-1 Tempo Wattmeter where I monitored my 5 watt output power
levels into associated antennas: TH7DX @ 72 ft, A3 @ 50 ft, 40m 2 element yagi
at 90 ft and 80 mtr shunt fed tower/vertical with 45 radials.
