Comments:

All I could manage to load up was my low 75/40 trap dipole used for 'phone nets.

100W into a 6:1 SWR on 1820.   Yikes.  Even with 7/8" Andrew Heliax, losses
were just overwhelming.

If the entry class was based on ERP and not TX output power I'd have been well
into QRPp territory ... Consequently, only a handful of stations could even
hear me.  I watched my Elecraft P3 screen and called stations that were stronger
than -75 dBm.  (No kidding.)  It worked!

Oh, well.  Just more motivation to not work so many hours in 2011 and
spend the time building antennas instead.
