Comments:
Fun contest. Dale, WC7S invited me to join his team in the 11th hour. I hadn't
planned on running QRP, but what the heck?
I don't know how QRP'ers do it and I would be remiss without thanking the many
great ops that copied my small signal.
I really blew it with my off time - as I breaked for 2 hours right in the
middle of the contest and surely missed many easy mults on 40.
When I finally got to 40 everybody was weak and the band was long - California
was loud while PA was inaudible. Pretty strange.
Some highlights: working CA QRP on 80 meters. Having NS, NB, PEI call in on
15. I was also able to do a little running on 20 and 80 with the qrp setup -
although when challenged, of course, I could not hold a frequency.
Low lights: No 15m? I could work everyone I could hear, but it seemed most
folks didn't try 15 at all. I don't think I had any 6 band or 5 band QSOs.
K4TD and K1DG on four bands each.
I've been on and off active for the last 14 years and one observation I have is
that a significant proportion of the calls I worked I remember working back when
I first started, not to many new "big gun" stations on the air.
