Comments:

I was pleased to get to the W6YX station for NS,
first time for the winter ladder! After "Low Power" in 
the RTTY Roundup at NN7SS, I was hankering to get 
back to QRP, so I turned down the RF OUT and gave it 
a go. Luckily there were some locals on 20m for 2 QSOs.
On 40m I heard far more participants than I could work, 
I was out of practice and out of sync - sorry! When I 
went to 80m, I had problems finding the right 
antennas on the switch box - some antennas might 
have been rearranged for last weekends contest. But I 
found something with an SWR less than 10:1 and made some 
contacts. Not surprising for QRP 5 watts, a lot of people 
didn't hear me. A GOOD EARS AWARD to Bud VA7ST! I saved two 
minutes for 160m and surprising for QRP worked three QSOs!
Thanks for the fun!

K6UFO Mork!
