Sweepstakes is the Greatest! Brag tape follows:
I only had time for about 6 hours of operating time on Sat
and Sun, but managed to work over 250 QSO's and
47 states. Missed Nebraska, North Dakota and West VA.
Worked NWT, VI and PR but couldn't find the easy VE's.
The K1 was outstanding. The front end only crunched a
cpl times. Used a K1 on 15, 20 and 40. A HW-8 on 80
and a handbook home brew on 10 with the IC-756PROII
receiving. 95% of Q's were on 40 and 15 meters with the
K1-2 and K1-4. Used a GAP Challenger vertical for
all QSO's.
As per N0SS, worked KH6X in the last few minutes of the
contest, but on 1 call. Here in Calif had an edge toward
Hawaii!!!
CQWW DX Contest the last of this month. Work DXCC on
the weekend QRP..Easy...
Now, back to RagChewing..
