[Elecraft] IARU

Anything is possible when propagation is in your favor, isn't it?

2 or 3 nights ago at around 0600Z, I was playing with one of the propagation
programs and it was predicting propag on 15m to the South Pacific and
nowhere else. So I jumped up there. Nothing on CW so went looking on SSB.
Three VK2s were in QSO with one another via ground wave and a VK4HFO was
calling CQ. That's it for the entire band. I switched to USB from CW, but
forgot to increase power from 5 watts. He came right back with a 559.

All good things come to an end. Today, is the pits.

After a half-hearted effort in the IARU contest, at about midnight our time,
0700z, I decided to hook up the K2 and try QRP on 40 meters, operating as 
AA6SS.    In just over an hour, did 51 QSO's, more than I normally do in any

contest at any time with 100 w from W6. These incl ZL, LU, CX, PY, PJ2, V31,
all with 5 watts into a vertical.
