Contest goals close to 50/50
In the thick of things |
1. Contacted DL6FBL with only 10mW's for a miles per watt total of 433,756 per watt an all time record for me.
2. As was already mentioned 92% of contacts are QRPp and a majority of those are at or below 500mWs.
3. There are so far 9 contacts at or below 50mWs and again all these contacts are DX and not U.S stations.
As for the rest of the goals like getting up early and racking up lots of time on the contest.........well the bed was sooooo comfee this morning it was very hard to get up and out before 8am! So that goal up to this point has not been met...but there is Sunday!! (dreams are free they say)
As for spending more time in the chair that will have to be weighted out on Sunday evening when the total time on air is looked at.
Contest on....it's off to 40m and maybe 80m as well..........will keep you posted
I showed the picture of your station to my wife and she thought it was mine until she realized that the pictures on the wall were different. Nearly all the same equipment and software, Pandadapter, MRP40 and N1MM.

Good afternoon Ken, well to start out with I guess we both have good taste in radio setups!! I went to your QRZ.com page and you have some very neat shots of the sub you were on. That must had been an adventure to remember. Also the antenna in the backyard looks great as well. Have a great what is left of the weekend.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
