Comments:
My teammate N4NX clued me in to the NAQP saying it's a contest tailored
for my (limited) skills. But maybe not to my limited antennas :)
Had a good time but lack of adequate lower band antennas really hurt when
20 shut down so early. 10 was its usual disappointment :(
My biggest problem was the difficulty in making 80m contacts with my 40m
G5R Jr. antenna. Apparently there was enough RF in the shack from
that mismatch to reboot my computer between contacts. Now THAT's a
huge pain, believe me.
Otherwise, great fun!
