Comments:

Running Low Power Category for SS SSB and trying to bust pileups or get a good
Run going, felt like a novice fighter showing up with a KNIFE at a GUNFIGHT !
Am used to the comfort of running High Power from from Antenna farms sporting
towers as tall as some redwood trees here in CA ! Anyway, the goal of the San
Diego Contest Club was to train new Ops in new methods and make a SWEEP !
That with did indeed with busting a massive pile up for Puerto Rico late in our
contest hours! When the gentleman at KH2R/KP4 called for "Any YLs on Freq?" -
Novice contester, Rusty, AF6WF (aka Rosemary in another life ), was up to the
challenge and secured our last section needed in 2 calls! This exercise taught
our Ops how to do Ping-Pong CQs with 2 transmitters and with the aid of some
new hardware, allowed only 1 of transmitters on the air at a time. Initially
the Ops had some trouble with this concept but after a while they performed
like some of the PROs of the W6YI group! Now to go find some more elements for
those 2 and 3 Element HF Yagis ! 73, Dennis N6KI
