Had a great time running QRP from Potter County this year. Last time I tried
from Potter was 2004. Back then I was running multi-op and had a total of 14
Qs when I dumped a can of soda into my logging laptop. Even more surprising
was that we took multi-op first place for Potter with a score of 180! Of
cource, I was the only multi station there.
This year went much better with 1/20th the power. 228 contacts and a score
of 39K. I was using a twin lead fed dublet with a Z11 tuner on my FT-817 and
was getting great reports from all over the northeast. Was using my deep
cycle marine battery for power and it lasted all weekend.
Looking for a different county for next year maybe Forest or Adams.
