Comments:
This was a casual effort in an otherwise fun contest. The effort on QTCs is all
on the EU end - perhaps I should go back to sending them manually? I never
could raise any EU stations on 15 meters although I could hear quite a few.
Better than average antennas do make a difference - I was listening to K1ZZ run
EU stations that I couldn't even hear! QRP to a modest antenna falls short in
declining propagation conditions on the high bands. I operated around family
activities and chores, so I could have selected better times for propagation -
the later afternoons were definitely more productive for QRP.
73, and thanks to those who patiently copied my weak signals,
Mike, K8CN
Rig: K3 @ 5 watts to Lazy H (cut for 20 meters), upper doublet sagging badly at
15 meters above ground level.
