This was the first time I made a concentrated effort in this contest and
now I'll operate this one
each year. It was a blast.
Highlights:
Able to have two 60+ Q hours on 20 with Packet Spots and controlling QSY via NA.
Good runs for the first time ever on 20 Meters. The 2 IRC Fox Tango 400 Hz
filters allowed me
to actually hear on a crowed band.
Worked a number of QRP stations in Europe. Signal must have been loud
enough that they thought they
might be sucessful.
Learned alot and had Fun!
Equipment:
TS-690S/AT (which is forsale), SB200 (around 800 watts out max), NA ver 10.12
Antennas: 160 Mtr Inverted L w/18 radials, 30' EWE receive antenna
