Amazed at all the real strong QRP stations all weekend.
The emergence of all the 90's something ops was music to
my ears. Slowing down for them was no problem at all.
N7NG had a huge pileup on Sunday, listening up 1, Wow!
Loudest station: W0SD. Yowza! Must be the Mississippi
River thats responsible for those big signals from
South Dakota and Louisiana. Does the river run thru SD?
Last year using Hi Power had an 89 hour to this years
71 hour using LP. To paraphrase N2AA, QRO is good!
Having 2 beams on 20 helps alot. Using two garden hoses
to spray the grass is better than using just one. Never
did get up the 2nd 40-2CD. Maybe next year the antenna
farm will sprout a few more monobanders. 73 de K2WK
