Comments:
It was long trip by two different airplanes to Zone 2 one more time...
Upon my arrival to Sept-Iles I found that my FT-1000MP has an issue with output
power – output power was 5 watts only.
Attempts to fix it was non-successful.
Started to operate in CQWW as a QRP and I must to say that it was a challenge!
Condition on 40-20-15 on Sunday vs Saturday was significantly improved from
early morning and I was very happy to create pile up operation few times during
the contest.
No any contact on 10 meters at all – this is the North…
In 2 hours before end of the contest my US pile-up on 20 meters was
completed…
Some changes in ionosphere happened again...
I saw few messages in the cluster “Condition dropped down!” at the same time
…
My QRP adventures in CQWW was completed at that time…
For rest 2 hours in CQWW I did 2 QSOs only…
I should say that it was very unusual QRP operation, however I`ve enjoyed by
CQWW as always.
Many thanks to all who had a patience to listen my QRP calls during CQWW,
especially to K3LR, 8P5A, S57AL and M6T, thanks for their very good ears –
they`re got successfully my calls on 80 meters on 5 watts and it was not easy.
Thank you very much to Yuri VE3DZ and Igor VA3FF for their great help during
preparation to this DX-pedition to Zone 2…
73 from North,
Igor VE2IDX
