Comments:
Used two different setups during the course of the contest (not simultaneously).
First and primary was a Flex 6600 with a Beverage for Rx and quarter-wave
elevated ground plane vertical. Second was a K3S with a dipole. Even though I
was remote, there was some "local QRN" from my young nieces while I
was operating from their basement which is also a play area. I had three or
four "best DX" that were about 8425 km with the vertical while the
dipole did great when I was running and mostly worked more local stations with
my best run of 72 QSOs in a bit over one hour. Quite pleased with the QRP
results! As I had to drive 10 hours on Sunday morning at 7 AM I gave up early
at 3 AM (0800Z) to get a nap and missed about 4-1/2 hours of operating time.
Enjoyed what I did, though, and determined that Remote station worked out pretty
well. Thanks to Eric, N3EB for use of his station and Mark, K0LO for helping
with the configuration of the remote connections!
