[NCC] Fwd: NAQP SSB K8MR Single Op QRP

[Jim K8MR via NCC]

I missed Ohio! Only MRRC/NCC worked were K8NWD and N8SBE. Not many more 
were heard.

Next contest, tentative plans to do the CW Sprint from K5KG. I may 
listen a bit for an Es opening in the VHF SS next weekend.

Comments:

This was a pleasant exercise in minimalist contesting. I operated QRP 
from a
waterfront park bench on Bird Key in Sarasota, using a KX3, hand mike, 
an MFJ
whip wedged into a sea wall, and logging on paper. I got myself and the 
entire
station there via bicycle.

As always, a lot of very copyable people could not hear my QRP signal, 
but the
loud ones did. I had one respectable run on 15 when I tuned across a YL 
op
telling her pileup she had to QRT, and apologizing for not being able 
to work
everybody who was calling. So I jumped in and started CQing, logging 
about 20
QSOs before things dried up.

I would have liked to spent a bit longer, but had to QRT to get home 
before
dark. All in all, a very nice way to spend a sunny, 70F afternoon as a 
Florida
snowbird.
