[SCCC] ARRL CW

[Chip and Janet Margelli]

Just played around on 15 (mostly) because of work and club commitments. No amp, but I did use DX Summit. But I find that any spotting network is actually a distraction to me; just was lazy this time.

15M: 357QSOs  91 Countries
10M: 104 QSOs, 39 Countries

About 15 hours of total operation.

Rig: Icom IC-7800 barefoot
Antenna: 7-element OWA Yagi at 70'

Yes, YO4ATW was crazy loud.

Saturday was fair to Europe on 15; actually was able to run them with my 200 Watts every now and then. Didn't get on until after 8 AM, so not sure how many eastern EU I left on my pillow. The African dawg piles did cooperate, fortunately.

Just got on 10 to work friends and fun mults like the V51, 6W, CS2C, ED8A, and J5. But 5H3EE called CQ in my face, alas. Did get 5H3/IK2GZU on 15, though. Nice to have T30YA answer my CQ on 10, too.  ;o)

Mo' better contest this time!

73,
