This is especially true on 160M (and to some extent on 80M) where so
many operators are fairly omni on transmit but may be highly
directional on RX. This
Very good points, Julius,
One of the mistakes that I make, and I hear being made is the feeling of not
being able to be heard.
That just works against us. Qro has the "advantage" of thinking powerful.. qrp,
knows the power is in
the operator and the props. Now.. we also know we can't control
Congrats Dale!
There were, at least, two other K2s in the winner circle ;o)
Gene, KB7Q and I both placed in the Top 10 SOLP... My certificate was
waiting for me when I went home.
Look forward to logging you and many other QRPers this year as well.
A couple of suggestions for any new QRP Top Ba
Dale,
congratulations! Very impressive.

The K2 does its best every day...
And I don't even have the better antenna up yet. (again)(dog gone

Thanks to ever

Maybe not many more, but certainly more if your Tx
antenna is lacking. That would be the case no matter
your power level.
Okay,

Yes.
I wasn't running QRP in the ARRL 160m contest, I was running a full
100 watts from the K2/100. Still, there were seve

The explanations by Don & Ron were as always right on and very helpful.
I already knew the answers but enjoyed reading the replies anyway. I
still have questions, though, too, so please continue to read on (we get
there eventually).
I would like to point out a couple of re

The fundamental problem on the low bands is the high noise level. A
good transmitting antenna can often have S6-9 noise, or worse. It's
hard to hear weak signals with
Bill,
Often low efficiency antennas make great low noise receiving antennas -
example is a multiturn loop which can be quite directional, but transmit
efficincy would be almost 'zip'. Another example is traveling wave antennas
such as the Beverage - which also are directional, but the efficiency
If anyone needs a QSL from Orange County, NY for the ARRL 160M test (or any
other QSO's for that matter) send SASE and I'll get one out to you.
