[CQ-Contest] Low Power = NO $$$ for ANY Amplifier... and $$$ for Your ANTENNA!

[IK2DZN - Claudio Astorri]

Hi Gentlemen,
 
 
hallo from Italy.
 
Let me write that as a new subscriber to CQ-Contest it is very nice reading
you and learning small or big tips almost daily.
 
 
I think I still own the record for "CQWW SSB - 21 MHZ - Low Power" in zone
15. It was established in 1993.
644.872 points thanking to 1718 QSOs, 37 zones and 112 Countries.
 
I had a HY-GAIN TH7 on a 67 (sixty seven) meter tower. Tremendous signals on
lower angles.
 
 
I am back after a decade of hard work and no time for my passion: SSB
Contesting.
 
Naturally I'll work next WAEDC and CQWWDX in LOW POWER as I did last July in
HF CHAMPIONSHIP.
 
 
Unfortunately I won't have the previous system though. 
I am restarting simply from the city QTH with an OPTIBEAM OB6-3M (small but
good!) at 10 meters and dipoles for 40 and 80.
 
Looking for a farm system in the next year.
 
 
It still seems to me that the ANTENNA SYSTEM is EVERYTHING. Do you agree
with me?
 
 
Thanks.
