Well I fooled around in CQWW for a few hours this weekend. Ran QRP at 5w
again using the Elecraft K2. It was tough sledding this time. Signal
conditions seemed to be down from a few months ago. There were many big
gun stations out there that I could not bust the pile up; 6V, D4, etc...
But I was gratified to work all continents and even break the pile up on
a few. I had contacts on all bands, 10 thru 160. Tried to work a W and VE
on each band (10-80) in all 3 zones. Got the W's but not all the VE's.
Worked 1 JA on each band (10-80) for the 25 mult. Then H&P around looking
for new DXCC (QRP) counters. Some of the interesting DX was R1ANF
(Antartica), 9L1AB, HC8N (of course), VR2BG, LX5A, C53M, ZD8Z, ZS4TX. To
be a serious contender (?) in this contest, you gotta go QRO!
