Comments:
A tough contest for QRP. Lots of T-storm QRN here and had to go off air several
times when lightning strikes were close. Rendered 40M (usually my money
band)virtually useless during the day. Felt a bit sorry for myself until I
heard about the tornadoes to my south. Missed three sections: SK and PR which I
never heard, and NL whose pile I could not penetrate. Conditions on 20-10 were
excellent but after a while new calls become rare in S@P. Runs were sporadic
and often short due to QRM. Many ops apologized for asking for fills, while I
was the one who had ought to be apologizing for calling them with a weak
signal! Most striking QSO was with W1NN who was operating remote in Tokyo at 9
am his time :)
Setup here: K3@5W, Force 12 C-4SXL at 70' and 176' doublet at 67'.
Thanks to all who pulled me out of the noise!
72/73
