[UK-CONTEST] CQWW SSB

[Steve Knowles]

I don't really like SSB contests, but I'm glad I had a dabble this year!

Rig:  FT817 - 5W QRP

Great fun, even though the FT817 RX is not the best in the world - had the IPO and the attenuator in all the time and still had problems with strong signals.  And 5W just doesn't cut it on the Zoo bands!  Lack of sunlight meant I had to augment the solar charger with mains electrickery - shame!  Operating time further curtailed by XYL's 60th birthday dinner Saturday evening and need to watch LA Angels vs NY Yankees on Sunday!
