As I am recovering from a nasty fall in a parking lot, I wasn't
able to venture out for FYBO, but I did sit in on the RSGB 7MHz
contest over the weekend. I worked 10 G and GW stations in two
hours using 5 watts on my 757GX and a Gap Titan. Only two
stations asked for repeats, and most gave "FB" when I signed
"QRP".
Also worked 9Y5T on 40m CW QRP.
Even though my elbow aches, the most painful was trying to work
the Z37 (Zimbabwe?) on 40m, calling CQ G. I tried to work him
anyways (as well as many others), thinking it might be some fancy
G call (like M0ARC), and he gave me a "G only"... well, at least
he heard my five watts.
