[Elecraft] QRP GOTA

[Bob Cutter]

I know, QRP SSB during FD at the bottom of the cycle. What a surprise, all 15 or so candidates made one or more contact. 

Our regular GOTA guy for Ski Country ARC, K0RV-2A Colorado, took a year off so I volunteered.  We used my VW Camper, end fed UNUN and KX3.

Here are some observations:

1.  The small foot print of the KX3 and Camper seemed to relax people. 

2.  Dual head phones helped in tuning a signal, so important during crowded conditions. 

3.  The KX3 filters did a fine job on QRM from the other two nearby 100 watt transmitters. 

4.  I participated in a large Multi-Multi CQWW operation where there was a "desk clerk" bell at each station which was rung when we got a new Multi. I honked the horn instead for each new GOTA contact. The reaction from everyone was amazing.
