Comments:
Rig: K2 @ 5W
Ant: 20M attic dipole @ 7 meter elevation, oriented N/S; 42 meter long doublet
@ 17 meter elevation, running almost due N/S.
Did S&P for the duration, and really didn't get started until early Saturday
morning. Main goal was picking up new entities toward QRP DXCC. Still learning
the idiosyncrasies of this newly erected doublet, especially on 20M. It was
frustrating to work South Pacific on 2nd or 3rd call, yet not be able to crack
the Caribbean open on 40M after beau coup tries! Listened quickly on 15 and
10 at various times, but didn't push for QSOs on either band due to DXCC entity
hunt. Next steps: new wire array for 40/20M, another doublet to handle
Caribbean/Central & South America, something vertical for 80M long-haul, and
more time in the chair!
