Comments:

Another low key QRP effort from FL. I didn't want to repeat last week's 
effort
of shooting a wire into a palm tree in a dimly lit parking area at our 
condo,
so this week I set up the MFJ telescoping whip on loan from W1NN (tnx 
Hal!). No
computer, just a WinKey, paddle, and paper.

Decent signals on 20, but still I am pretty weak. Especially since when 
taking
it down I had missed extending two sections, resulting in a 15 meter 
quarter
wave antenna  :-(.  It did tune up on 40 enough to catch the good ears 
of
NO3M.

No NS next week as we'll have friends visiting. I am planning to take 
the KX3
and MFJ whip to a park by Sarasota Bay for a few hours in the DX test 
this
weekend.
