Started in at 13:30 on Saturday morning after attending my daughter's wedding
in Toronto Friday night. After an hour in the driving snow, an immediate start
into the contest after midnight just wasn't in the books. Saturday morning was
a little casual QRP, a couple of hours off, no real competitive attempt.
Sometime during the afternoon, I noticed that the score was rising quite nicely
and a couple of hours before the end I decided to have a run at the QRP record
and managed it with about 40 minutes to spare! Operating time was about 8
hours. It would appear that something like 500K QRP is doable under the right
conditions!
Equipment: IC-706MKIIG, 4 to 5 W output.
