Equipment Description:

Yaseu FT-990 5 watts, Cushcraft R5 vertical, CT 9.57

Comments:

First time to work QRP in this contest. I had planned to make this a low demand 
contest and worked only 17 hours. It turns out that QRP is much more demanding 
than running my usual 100 watts. Twice the work for half the contacts. But it 
was a lot of fun regardless.

Conditions were exceptional with some strange anomalies. Worked V73UX and only 
one VK. No other contacts in that area. Also heard only a few JAs and worked 
one of them at noon local time which is unusual from here. Worked CN8NK but no 
other Africans. Yet had very good east-west and north-south propagation on 15 
and 10. Go figure. 

Club Affiliation:

observed fully the rules and regulations of the contest.
