[UK-CONTEST] CQ WW M/M QRP Record

[Jiri Culak]

Hi there,

Now from a bit different approach. I hope you will like it and find it
both challenging and funny.

I have been kindly asked by my good friend OK2RZ to translate and post
following info. I believe guys back at home QTH had great fun and I can
possibly see others joining soon?? :-)

Are you tired of keeping your Henry 8K within 1500W levels? 

Are you tired of key clicks, splatters and Cluster fueled pile ups?

Do you want to test yours skills rather than your equipment?

Want to check out if great play could be achieved with small
figureheads?

Then please let us introduce You the first but hopefully not last CQ WW
CW M/M QRP Team Effort of OK2RRR...

... The time has come to a change, let's have a fun again! 

  

This year we have been constantly thinking about what to do next and
what is going wrong with contesting.

Someone mentioned while having few pints that we should do M/M in QRP
levels, but problem arouse instantly, that nobody will believe that we
will run QRP levels.

Than someone else pointed out that he own several FT-817s and idea was
born.

 

Let me therefore introduce you first successful attempt on CQ WW M/M QRP
Record in CW Leg by OK2RRR Radio Club.

Conclusions: Having high bands completely closed most of the day and
focusing on LF bands, pretty hard going but 80 W's on 160m first
night.... Not bad for FT-817!

Anyway, even though it was hard going it was more challenging and MUCH
MORE FUN!
