Comments:
Fun, but hard work with QRP & simple antenna's. I missed many multipliers I felt
I could have worked with just a few more dB. But really most of the time I was
amazed at the great ears out there... sometimes fluttery S3 DX would come right
back after one call, and there were lots of domestic contest regulars that heard
me on several bands...THANKS!
Main goal was 2-radio practice, and I did keep a different radio in each ear
almost continuously. Sometimes CQing on one rig and getting a few calls, and
other times S&Ping two bands. (I have to remember to tune both VFO's in the same
direction else sooner or later the search pattern gets messed up.) I don't
think two radios actually helped my score any; I suspect you really have to be
loud enough to run to see the benefit. Maybe in Sweeps or NAQP... we'll see.
GL & 73, Chris VA3NR
