Comments:
This was a hard fought contest for me. My station is a wimpy station at best
with only a 75 foot end fed insulated wire laying on a 45 degreed roof facing
north. With running QRP on top of that it was a battle for almost every QSO.
I can only remember a small hand full of Q's that I did not have to repeat
several times either my call or the exchange. Above the station and category
limitations I had a great time. I did notice that the 80M activity was mostly
below 3800 khz so not really much opportunity as a general for Q's there so I
concentrated on 40 and 20 meters mostly after sunset. I guess it is time to
start studying for my extra to open up that part of 80M. During the daylight
hours I was able to do good on 15M with a few Q's on 10M. 10M did provide a
bit of a challenge as most stations were to my south and the main angle of
radiation was north so stations to my south had a hard time hearing my signal.
Thanks to all the stations for the Q's and will look forward to CQ WPX CW in
May.
