Assisted: I only spotted 2 stations but that is enough. And the spotting was done thru the logging program
Transmitters: (2); Both were K3s. The club’s was donated by Ed Duclos’ wife after his passing. The other was my personal K3.
Antennas: (3); LPA, inv L and this was the first go-around for the 43-ft vertical, which also was Ed’s antenna.
Software: N3FJP contest logging.
As of now, the vertical is still not 100% completed to my standards. It needs some work to be completed, but is operational from 20-6m. I plan to have it completed in next few weeks if the weather holds up.
Thanks to John, WA1ESO for coming in and making some contacts in the CQ WW DX CW Contest. We made 864 contacts. We had a total of 320 multipliers! Worked a solid 100 countries.
“Just about 200 more QSOs for the CQ WW DX CW Contest than CQ WW DX SSB Contest.”
“CW rocks!”
