2011 ARRL International DX Contest (CW)
My hat is off to all of the operators that heard my QRP signal. I really appreciate your skill and talent as top notch CW operators. Rig used was a Ten Tec Jupiter at 5 watts to a 40 meter inverted vee at 40 feet and a Cushcraft MA3B mini-beam (that's the MA5B without the WARC bands element) at 25 feet. The improvements in my antenna garden helped me nearly triple my score from last year - I suppose some credit should be given to the sunspots, better propagation, and everyone that heard me. Throughout the contest, I was amazed that the kilowatt stations were copying me - it took a while for some and I thank you for your patience and persistence. A great event with a lot of great CW operators - from my little corner of the world to yours, thank you and 73 - Will, NQ2W
