Comments:
Rig: FT-897
Power: 5 Watts
Antenna: 40m dipole at 32 feet fed as a T antenna against a lousy RF ground
The QRP challenge is a tough one without an antenna that's somewhat efficient on
this band (do I hear a "duh"? :) ). I bet the ERP was less than a single Watt. I
only dabbled a bit in this contest to get a feel for what it's like on topband
as I only frequent it as an afterthought in other contests. It was interesting,
but not really surprising, that very loud stations were not able to hear me,
while others with marginal signals picked me up at the first call. Considering
my marginal setup and power, it speaks well of the stations that were able to
hear me.
