Comments:
This was my first ever foray into a QRP contest. I finally got a wattmeter that
can go that low, so I thought I would give it a try. I have no idea how well or
poor my performance was. I DO know that I was unable to run anytime at all (I
expected that) but was actually amazed that I could make it through using my
dipole antennas (none higher than 60 feet). How frustrating to have really loud
EU stations just CQ in my face while I called over and over and over.
15 was great Saturday morning and afternoon, and while I heard some activity on
10 M I could not get through.
I accomplished what I set out to accomplish; learn a little bit of QRP DX, and
my DXCC total, after 48 hours of this, stands at 58.
