It was the requirement to /qrp that had me deciding not to enter this year, Now with the conditions, its just as well, I suppose. There is always next year. I wouldn't mind a /q occasionally, but for
Hi Doug and all, I would add, that as a qrp op, and I'd like to feel that I do a fair job of getting along, with qrl?? asked before cq, that I don't appreciate any station, that dumps a cq on top, ex

Was there for almost an hour, started on 40, went to 20, stopped by 80, back to 40, called cq, tried S&P and was chased from many a frequency either during or after the first call. Note, before each
Just got the very nice certificate from the Florida Qso Party 2004. And it is evidence that some things can be done from the west, even with a 7 call, and simple wire antennas too. I used less than 5
