Comments:
First of all...a BIG thanks to all you who take the time to work with us QRPers
when our signals just aren't quite "there." It is sincerely appreciated. I've
enjoyed the QRP approach to this contest the last 4 years now but have to
admit...I just might be about ready to go back to QRO. We'll see next year
(probably on the day before the contest as I never seem to know what I'm going
to do until then). This year I really didn't even know if I was going to be
able to do much at all as I have most of my wire antennas laying in the
branches of trees as ropes have been breaking right and left and I haven't had
the time to get out there and work on them. Fortunately, this contest seems to
like the low antennas! :)
My score is up very slightly from last year but my Qs are slightly down (less
operating time). My operating time was a couple hours less then last year so I
guess it really was a pretty solid "gain" for me all in all. Thrilled to get
the sweep for the first time in with QRP. Last sections were BC and Rhode
Island. Finally located BC when I went trolling on 20m rather late after
having already moved to 80m. I think many of us were pleasantly surprised to
find that opening.
Thanks again to all. It was fun and great to be able to say "hi" to many of
you. Happy Thanksgiving!
73,
