[OKDXA] CQWPX propagation

[Perry Jenkins]

I worked the contest /p running 5 watts using a KX3 and a very low 40M OCFD. I only made 100Qs 

I made 78 US, 11 Canada, and 11 DX. I made 1 QSO on 10 M, 20 on 15M, 59 on 20M, and 20 on 40M. I did not operate a whole lot but some on each day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I was surprised I made any DX with my set up. The OCFD was only up about 15 feet.
