Rig - FT1000D set at 5w Ants KT34XA @105' fed w/ LDF7, M2 8el LPDA w/ 40m
dipole @100' fed w/ LDF5, 4 SQ elev radials (80m)
At the last minute decided would try QRP, a new experience just to see where I
would end up. What a frustrating mistake! While I got many glowing reports,
trying to hold a run freq with 5w is an exercise in frustration, constantly
losing the freq to the HP boys. By the first nite I was resigned to S & P for
virtually the rest of the contest. Tuning the bands constantly and checking
for dupes was NOT enjoyable. Life is truly TOO short for QRP. The real
satisfaction was a sweep. Tnx to all that took the time to pull me out.
