Comments:
I operated from a roadside park at the edge of Sarasota Bay, i.e. salt water!
Used a vertical planted in the water (at high tide) for 20-10, and a 33 foot
wire fed against the minivan for 40 and 80. Rig was a KX3. No facilities at the
park, so I tore down the antennas when I went to lunch or home at night. At high
tide that meant getting my feet wet in a foot of warm water.
As with any QRP, lots of time feeling weak, though on 40 I usually felt rather
loud. Though I was not vain or dumb enough to try CQing on any band.
Thanks to all who took the effort to pull my puny signal out of the QRM and
QRN!
73 - Jim K8MR
