[CQ-Contest] FY5KE QRP

[Zack Widup]

Back in the early 90's V73C was running QRP in the ARRL DX CW contest. He
had a phenomenal signal here all night on 40 meters. Yet in every QSO his
power that he sent was "005". I had a hard time believing it.

I later exchanged e-mails with him and he said he had a 40 meter beam over
salt water. He was indeed QRP. So you never know. The right antenna in the
right place can do wonderful things.

73, Zack W9SZ
