    Setup SO2R and ready for a serious all band effort.
    Started on 15 as USA was mostly gone on ten. Logged
    over 1000 Q's after 4 hours on 15 but stayed too long on

    It was a fun but grueling contest 5 Watts with a simple dipole is not easy! 60 QSOs and 44 DXCC Entities in two days. Down from the last times that I entered the contest (almost 10 years ago!). My FT-817 is a great rig but I need a better antenna sys... Read More

    However, I did have a good time.
    I must say that most operators were very well behaved!

    A few weeks ago I purchased a used Corsair II. I ran it barefoot into a Titan vertical for this contest, at anywhere from 50 to 80 watts and gave the linear a rest. I didn't operate for more than a few hours but I worked everyone I called--it was gre... Read More

    Fantastic condx! Had the rate meter on Sun morning up over 200 at a couple of points, with sustained rates over 150. I've never heard 20 and 15 open in the morning to both EU and JA, with equally strong signals. Was also amazed at the number of QRP ... Read More
