Comments:
There is definitely a trick to running QRP in this contest. I sure wish I knew
that trick!
Actually I learned a lot, mostly from doing the wrong things. I need to manage
my off-times better. My lowest rate was during the last two hours of the
contest, and I should have taken time off then. Also, I found myself spending
way too much time trying to bust pile-ups with 5 watts.
Anyway, I sure had a good time and set a goal to beat next February. It was
also pretty cool being on a team for the first time. It makes you want to work
a little harder.
The rig was a K2 at 5 watts. Antenna was vertical on 20/15 and 150' sloper for
80/40. I need an antenna for 160 and will be working on that soon. Logging was
with Writelog 10.32.
73,
John, WA6L
