Re: Topband: ARRL 160CW Contest QRP Portable Op

[K4OWR <k2owr@comcast.net>]

:::: I will indeed be in there trying out all my new CW interface 
goodies. I have not really operated CW in a contest in many years.
BTW FYI in the CQ 160 contest last year, In 9 hours I made 972 contacts 
in all 48 states plus 12 countries :-) :-) For first in TN and 17th. in 
country. All on phone.
I did run full power though. One of these days I may try qrp just to 
punish myself.
