Don't forget the Stew Perry Contest this weekend -- 160M, Saturday 1500Z to Sunday 1500Z. This is a great CW contest, whose only shortcoming is not enough activity. The exchange is your grid (like on 6M), and the score for each QSO depends on the distance between your grid and the other station's grid, as well as his power and your power. So you get more points for running low power and QRP, and you get more points for working low power and QRP stations.
This is a great opportunity to exercise you K2 or K3 at any power level and have a good time. Even if you don't have a dedicated 160M antenna, with a decent antenna tuner, you can load up almost any random wire against whatever you can use for a ground or counterpoise. And because everyone gets points for working low power stations, all of those other guys will be working hard to pull your peanut whistle out of the mud. So fire up whatever you can and go at it! You'll be surprised at what you can work, especially in the wee small hours of the morning. Be there or be square! 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
