Comments:
5 W (Elecraft K3), dipole up 8-10 m, keyed with a Vibroplex bug.
After a solid showing with 100 W in the ARRL 160 m contest earlier this month, I
figured it was time to see what my station can do QRP. Conditions seemed pretty
good and my QRP setup evidently still works for W/VE, but has an even harder
time with DX. Notable missed DX includes PJ7/UT6UD, KL7SB, KH6LC, NP2, HA, I,
DL, and F.
For the future I need to design a better TX antenna system. I hear pretty well
(thanks, rural location!) on the dipole, but it's fairly obvious most of my
power is warming the clouds. I guess that's something to stew about over the
summer.
