Hello dear elecrafter's Just a fast summary on my activity during the ARRL contest in the QRP class
I was using my K1 #1605 rated at 5 watts (I can get more than that on 14 Mhz !!) and my standard 2x20 m doublet + the BL1 balun + the KAT1. I made 382 QSO during 15 hours of operation, and worked 74 multi on 2 bands (14 and 21); 28 was closed for me (and by the way the K1 has no 28 mhz capability (snifff ..) and 7 or 3.5 were out of reach for me with 5 watts. Final score is 84.8 Kpts The only multi I missed were VE7UF and VE5SF on 14; I worked several W6 and W7 on 14 and 21; As usual I was able to have several QSO with the east coast at the lowest power available (around 100 mW) : just for the fun of QRP ! Again I spent some very pleasant hours in front of my little K1 : and many operators were giving good reports for the signal strength and keying quality. I hope to hear many of you during the next contests, perheaps now with K2-100 ! zzza 73/72 de Chris / F6FTB KX1 #141 , K1 #1605, K2#644 and DSW30, DSW80, PSK20 + Rockmite 40/20 (which are also very fine little QRP kits !!) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
