Comments:
My second CQP running SSB only, and first running QRP. Things started out well,
but I found that holding a frequency is not easy if no one can hear you. I was
squashed a number of times by folks settling up next to (or on top of) me with
much more power (even from out of state) forcing me to move.
Had a few issues, antennas not very good with 80 and 40, a strange radio issue
that was cured with a power cycle, and usual operator improvements needed. Only
ran 21 of my expected 24 hours with conditions favoring my lack of antennas.
Thankfully noticed a significant improvement over my first year, and the recent
SSB sprint helped overall skills.
I already look forward next year to run in the 200W or less small pistol
group, retiring my 5W derringer, and getting a broom to sweep.
Thanks to everyone who put this together, your time and investment makes the
one fun run every year.
