I spent 10 days in northeastern France and made 32 contacts, mostly in
the WPX CW contest. I was using my K2 and MP-1 vertical from a sixth
floor hotel room in Tourcoing, but there were much taller buildings to
the north and west, so I really didn't have any path back to the US.
The best DX (and only non-EU) contacts I made were 3V8BB and A61AJ in
the contest.
I had forgotten to bring the power cord for my MFJ mini-switcher so I
used battery power for several contacts until I could purchase a
computer power cord (the MFJ uses the same connector as a desktop).
73, Bob N7XY
