[Dale Putnam]

Ok.. bear with me.. or simply delete.. that's ok too..

but this kid just got something in the mail.. that is really exciting.... to me.

2007 CW WWDX QRP all band CW for US - #1 in 7th Area.... 

 

Now.. I know there were some very esteemed and capable competitors... and to each of them, I have hat in hand... you guys make it look so easy... 

and that is what is the tale for those that are really good at it... 

you all make it look so easy.... 

 

Now.. I used a bit of time with an SB104A at 1 watt... an AT Sprint II at 3 watts, and an Elecraft K2 at 4.5 watts. No two radios at the same time for those looking that way.. but switching them in and out of circuit, while changing antennas too... for the different bands, ... and the antennas are all wire... with the exception of..

maybe see you in the next fox hunt too? or the FoBB at the end of this month?
