[K6BW] ki6ada A long distance (5 watts) QRP

[Steve Johnson]

 Hi Everybody 

I have a long distance QRP with just 5 watts! Last Friday 1/18/2007. I had a ssb phone QSO on 20 meters! I worked from Marin Rod and Gun Club to Big Lake Alaska. Not bad for crummy band conditions. I was working the Yaesu FT 817ND into a vertical Buddipole with my counterpoise pointing into a Northwest direction.

I would love to hear more stories. I have learned that during poor propagation that QRP can still be fun!


73, Steve
