[UK-CONTEST] CQWW CW QRP 7MHz

[Dave Sergeant]

I agree, Barry's score is fantastic for a single band entry.

Here at G3YMC I also did a 15m single band entry, on QRP. 337 QSOs, 66 
countries, 18 zones, 55,608 points. Operating all hours of daytime 
apart from a half hour break for lunch.

I was amazed at how early 15m opened, on Sunday Russians were there 
from 6am (but only the ones I had already worked). On Sunday as Tom 
commented the USA more or less faded around 5pm but there were strong 
Eu stations still there well after 6pm. Certainly interesting to watch 
the propagation changing throughout the day.

This year I used my HF2V Butternut as a 3/4 wave vertical, and it 
seemed to work very well.
