Comments:
My first ever entry into his contest. I did this one from my new home QTH rather
than my contest station. I was very pleased with the results. With limited 15m
openings, this contest is focused on openings on 20m/40m starting in the wee
hours of the morning until mid morning, at least from Texas. I had some other
obligations this weekend so couldn't do the wee hour thing, but I was on the air
around 1000z each morning. The station antenna is a single JK Force 12 XR-7,
with 2 elements on 40m and 20m-6m. The antenna is mounted on a 70' tower, but
the tower is mounted on the summit of a 100 ft. hill. So the effective height is
~150'. The station played well. I have an Alpha Delta DX-A on 80/160 meters. So,
a very simple station really, but it worked really nicely.
I also used my K3S and my new KPA1500. During runs the amp stayed nice and cool,
~60c, and fan noise was no issue at all. I typically run the amp at 800 - 1,000
watts.
I'll definitely do this one again.
