[PVRCNC] FW: CQWW CW K4QPL SOAB(A) LP

[Jim K4QPL]

A lot of firsts:

First time putting in more than token hours when not at a M/M station;
First time CQWW CW Assisted category when not at M/M station;
First time to break 1 Million with low power. (Will see if it holds for log
checking!)

With the three high bands all open at the same time for hours on end, it was
frustrating not to have a good second high band antenna for the the second
radio and/or to cover the globe without spinning the wheels off the rotator!
I guess this will motivate me to get the AB-577/SteppIR combination in the
air to take the place of my wire tribander second antenna.

The bands were so open it was hard with low power to hold a frequency for
any length of time so I concentrated on S&P for zones and country mults.
Probably more than I should have based on rate vs. mult notices N1MM kept
giving me but couldn't resist the challenge to bust the pileups! Two radio
S&P helps but because the exchange is so short compared to SS, there's
really not much advantage in alternating other than to keep the band maps
open and jump to mults.

I didn't try any "iron man" BIC so enjoyed the weekend.

73,
