[CQ-Contest] Non-Assisted vs. Assisted

[Hank Greeb]

Amen!  A variation - I hook my ancient boat anchor (Drake TR5) to my 
"portable" antenna - which varies in height with the amount to trouble I 
take to put it up after the last "mini-dxpedition" and plug away with a 
mighty 5 watts to a cloud warmer for antenna.

I never expect to win any category, unless I'm the only entry in that 
category/locale, but it's fun!

I don't care to spend $100's of thousands, though, with 9 acres and a 
1300' deep chunk of land I'd have room for a fair to middlin' antenna farm.

If propagation is poor, and others can't hear me, I leave the shack, pop 
open a sarsaparilla, and watch the boob tube.

72/73 de n8xx Hg
QRP >99.44% of the time
