[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] IARU HF Championship

[Edward Bradshaw]

I was only able to get on the radio a few hours here and there but managed to log 20 phone contacts with my ft817 and inverted V dipole with scratch built center. Despite having difficulties in the big pileups on 5 watts, I still managed to get over to Europe and South America a few times. My last and longest was to Croatia. 

I would not have done as well without the experience of Field Day and the help of KF7IJZ with the initial setup and test of my antenna.

73,
