I spent 10 days in northeastern France and made 32 contacts, mostly in the WPX CW contest. I was using my K2 and MP-1 vertical from a sixth floor hotel room in Tourcoing, but there were much taller buildings to the north and west, so I really didn't have any path back to the US. The best DX (and only non-EU) contacts I made were 3V8BB and A61AJ in the contest.
I had forgotten to bring the power cord for my MFJ mini-switcher so I used battery power for several contacts until I could purchase a computer power cord (the MFJ uses the same connector as a desktop). 73, Bob N7XY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft You must subscribe to post.
