Comments:
200mW was tough on some people. 14 new states
at a new power level on 20M.
Thanks to N4BP who after four tries on four
separate occasions was finally able to get my
number. QRM/QRN/and interference was tough.
Thanks Bob.
The 5W signals were very good and most were
599 for real.
I was having lighting strikes less than a mile
away so wasn't on for long periods of time.
Just too rough on the ears and a wire up in the
air during a storm with me connected to one end
scares the heck outta me. :-)
Would take off an hour, come back for five minutes
and then be gone again for another hour after the
first hour and a half.
I heard Ron KU7Y one time and he was 229 and then gone.
Beam pointed to Alaska?? :-)
It was fun. I didn't try 15M and I didn't try 40M
the latter due to QRN/QRM. It's winter we aren't supposed
to be having toronado watches es stuff.....
Ron KU7Y beat the stuffings outta me again. No more
bets Ron. :-)
