Comments:
For the second year in a row I wasnâ??t motivated for an all-out effort, partly
due to the requirements of my new part-time job at the local post office. I
also decided to try low power for a change. I spent 99.9% of my time scanning
the bands and during the three short attempts at CQing I only added about 10
QSOs to the log. I was curious to see how my low-power signal would do and
found that on 20-10 meters I didnâ??t have any troubles getting through unless
there was a pile-up of more than a couple of stations - even so, this only
stopped me from working about 5-6 stations. On 80 meters I could only work
about half of the European stations I heard calling - I suspect that with my
beverage I can hear much better than many stations on the far end. I didnâ??t
spend much time on 160 but I did pick up a few QSOs on that band. I didnâ??t
try 40 at all until late Sunday (during a break between football games). I
wanted to bring my QSO count up to 400 and my â??onâ?? time to 8 hours. I
managed to quickly add 19 QSOs, each one a new country!
