Comments:

Rig: Yaesu FT-817ND maxxed out at 5 watts, 500 Hz CW Filter, W1AW's bulletin
antennas.

It had been a long time since I'd tried QRP in SS; operating QRP from W1AW
seemed like a great idea and lots of fun. I wanted to put my 817 through the
mill to see what she's made of; I wasn't disappointed.

Mostly S & P; couldn't find a freq to run on until 20m Sunday afternoon. That
was a good run. manged to hold a freq on 80 for a while Sunday evening as well.
Missed NL for the sweep. Nothing like cracking VY1EI's pileup with 5 watts.

Special thanks to W1AW station manager Joe, NJ1Q for the help with various
cables and interfaces. The effort would not have been possible without his
pre-contest help.

See everybody in SSB...this time with the amp!

73,

Sean KX9X
