[CQ-Contest] Oceania DX

[Rick Kiessig]

Just finished Oceania DX (my first contest).  I'm just a "small pistol,"
and only worked 80M using an inverted L and 500 watts.  Some great
last-minute QSOs from ZL to Spain (antipodes), England and Wales long
path.  Plenty of Russian and US stations on last night, as well as a few
from Finland and Japan.  Lots of fun.

 

I would be interested in hearing what it was like for others who worked
80.  And how were the other bands?
