[ADXA] fun in the contest

[Nick Kennedy]

Yep, it was fun. I'm not sure I've ever worked an all DX contest before.
Made 300 Qs in 71 countries, 153 mults. No new countries but no doubt I got
some new band-countries if I should decided to track them.

I heard locals W5KI and K5FUV and worked ZF5T on 80-40-20. Good solid
signal each time.

I'd been working FT8 all week and needed to cleanse myself with a good
blast of CW.

Rig: K3, AL-811 and 134 ft. inverted L.

I noticed that a power level of KW was pretty universal worldwide, but in
the Caribbean 100 W seemed to be reported more often. I assume that's
because weekend contesters didn't want to lug a big amp with them for the
event. They didn't need it though, with the big signals coming out of that
region.

73-

Nick, WA5BDU
