This was challenging, humbling, and frustrating, but mostly fun. My search for
QSOs and multipliers led me to 160 where I found and worked VE5SF -- no
wall-to-wall SS QRM on that band! Even so, I was only at 66 mults when went to
bed at 0830Z. Until 1800Z I thought PA and DE had a massive power failure as
all 15 3-land QSOs were with MDC. Kudos to NP4Z for holding off his massive
pileup on 21340 at 1945Z to ask specifically for QRP stations!! Eventually
worked all but NL which I never heard ... surprising now that I see at least 4
VO1 posts to 3830.
I appreciated all the "Great Signal for QRP" reports until going 5 or 10
minutes before another QSO. I'm looking forward to getting the K3 digital
voice recorder!
73,
Bob W7YAQ (CK 54)
