Having started the recent discussion about the sending of meaningless
5NN reports I decided to see what would happen if I didn't send a
report. Only ONE station queried RST ? (and for his impertinence didn't
get 5NN). I suspect that most people using computer logging have already
moved to the serial number field without waiting to hear their report.
I was surprised that running 100W (as per the rules!) several stations
who were good signals here couldn't hear me, perhaps they weren't in the
contest. I began to wonder about my 80/40 inverted V trap dipole but
today having worked K5D on 80 & 40 there can't be too much wrong with it
(apart from being too low & not running in a straight line).
