5 W, wire strung out window into the urban canyon.
I didn't have much time for this contest due to work, but I was able to put a
few hours in from home. My iambic paddles have some connection issues that I'm
troubleshooting, so I used a miniature straight key instead. The problem was
that the T/R switching seems to have some capacitor involved such that from
receive to transmit takes a while on the first keydown, which can swallow dots
whole. To compensate, I ended up just keying with the straight key as fast as I
could reliably make it go, but far short of the speed I might have liked.
Thanks to all who pulled out my slow, weak CW from the noise!
