Comments:

Decided to fire up the FT-817 bought at Dayton 2002.

It was a lot of fun being REAL QRP...Cushcraft R7000 with base @ 10ft above 
ground. The 2.5 watts didn't even move the power meter enough to see what 
was really happening, hah! Supposedly the 817 puts out 5 watts if the little 
power meter blinks but it never seemed to blink so I assume it was always 
2.5 watts. Worked some DX too: G, DL, S5, VE3, XE, KP4 neato! S58A was loud
on 20m and DL1IAO is a good op! 

"Lance" Armstrong won his fourth Tour de France this past weekend. 
So I decided to use his name for the contest. Surprised that someone 
in Texas (his home state!) didn't use it? Three weeks of bike riding 
isn't easy :-) If you get a chance to see the highlights check out Lance 
taking off past Beloki in the mountains. 

Catch you in the WAE CW this coming weekend from K4JA SOHP.
