Comments: After doing the last couple CW contests from my apartment, I noticed
my OCF dipole is weak into JA/Oceania. I didn't want to miss those openings
this time, so I opted to do this one from W1HQ instead.
This is the first time I've broken the 1,000-QSO mark on QRP.
No 10m to speak of.. only a couple EU. Tough working through the noise Saturday
afternoon/evening; it forced me to 40/80 way too early. I crashed Saturday about
0400z and got up at 1045z Sunday and snagged about 20 mults on 40/80 before
hitting 20, then 15. 15 was superb on Sunday. good rate into EU and then a
wonderful JA opening.
A Special thanks to Bob Allison WB1GCM, Joe Carcia NJ1Q and Greg Kwasowski
W1GJK for all their technical assistance. Couldn't have done it without 'em.
