[Elecraft] Fw: QRP-TTF results -- N3AO

[Carter Craigie N3AO]

TNX, guys, for all the QSOs!  I'm sure I heard lots of Elecraft rigs out
there! Sorry if I missed your call or never heard you.  My canoe kept moving
about in the creek and often would bang up against a tree branch, so
operating condx were interesting, shall we say. I bumped my tuning knob more
than once...

Had 39 QSOs for 390 points X  28 SPCs X 5 (MM mult) =  54,600 final score.

Used the Elecraft K1 in my canoe floating on headwaters of Crum Creek, in
Paoli, PA.  Ant was an Inv. Vee in tree branch over the creek!  I sent "RST
PA MM" as my part of the exchange. A frog joined me in the canoe for most of
the afternoon; he must have jumped out
before I hauled the canoe up on the bank after 5:00 p.m.  Total time was 6
hours 5 mins...

The only thing I got wet was the sleeve of my sweater.  Getting in and out
of the boat was rather shaky, as my legs and balance just aren't what they
used to be! Hi! Still no major mishaps and radio stayed good and dry!

Thanks again and 73!
