[Fists] ARRL DX Phone Contest

[frank lauri]

I know this contest does not directly relate to
CW.However,I did want to share with all FISTS on what
a little RF can do on SSB.
I operated about 14 hours of the ARRL DX Phone contest
earlier this month and made almost 200 contacts in 60
different countries on 10,15 and 20 meters.I was using
the FT817 at 5 watts and a dipole which was only 3
feet off the ground.(The tree support for my dipole
came down a few weeks ago.)
This bodes well for us CW ops who use 5 watts or less
and want to get DXCC in a hurry! One contest maybe all
you need to get 100 countries. 
73 es DX,
Frank -W2IX
