Congratulations Steve!
I find your score amazing running 5 watts into these antennas.  I managed
about 30 Qs running QRP on 10m over the weekend, there was no way I would
even have tried on the other bands! Your patience and skills are to be
commended. I wonder how your QSO per Watt comparison would stack up against
high power stations?  Very favourably I would assume!

Hi All

Conditions were better than I had expected, so I was pleased to make 975
QSOs - slightly down on last year's 1,060 QSOs when conditions were much
better on HF.

I'm still trying to improve my abilities in converting CW into keyboard
entries when in 'CQ' mode.  The new Morse Runner program is going to
make getting practice much easier.


Regards to all,
Steve GW4ALG
