Jeff,
I keep telling this gang that contests are the way to go if you are
in a hurry to rack up states/continents/countries.
Why?
1. The best operators in the world are on at the same time.
2. A lot of operators are on at the same time.
3. The best equipment is all in use at the same time all over the
world.
4. The best antenna systems in the world are in use at the same time.
Did I tell you that timing was everything? :-)
Thanks for the entertaining report. We just love this stuff.
Of course this is all going to pale in comparison to doing 10M CW
Mobile in two to three years. The race will be on to do 200 countries
in one year 10M Mobile CW with 250mW using the left foot on a non-Iambic
paddle in Downtown New York City during the Marathon and using a four foot
wire for an aerial.....
