[SECC] ARRLDX SSB K7SZ

[Rich Arland]

Spent approximately 5 hrs in the contest:

OP: K7SZ
Rig: K3
Ant: Wire/A3S @ 25 ft
Entry: SOAB
PWR: 99W
Qs:  112
Mults: 67
Score: 22512

After this contest it has come to my attention that about 98% of the 3rd world uses kilowatt amps!! Food for thought!! (No, Mikey....I'm not going for the Elecraft Linear!!)
10/15M were the money makers this time. 20 was tough even with 100W and inefficient antennas. 40M was a TOTAL ZOO!! 80M was "different"....it was all I could do to stay away from the "My New Aches and Pains but I have my New Medication" nets (do they still call these the "Old Foggie Nets?"). Can't load anything on 160 at present.
