I worked VO1DD in NL with 5 Watts on 40M CW around 2130. Almost 1200 miles from my QTH in NE PA. Doug lives in felicitously named Heart’s Delight, NL. A real pleasure to make his acquaintance.
I took my Flex-1500 to the regular Wednesday in the park QRP outing and set up my Chameleon MPAS antenna on a tripod with 4 drooping counterpoise wires. I operated for about 2 hours on 20m using FT8 and made two contacts with my 5 watts. One was in New Brunswick Canada and the other was with an operator in Los Alamos New Mexico. None of the other guys brought their radios so I was the only one to make any contacts during today's session.
Trying out automatic Keyer on my 7300 and worked K7ARJ in ID and AC6ES in CA mid afternoon yesterday with 5 watts from NE PA. CW on 20M.
K2JB came up on 60 from North Georgia where he was SOTA. Didn't realize until after the QSO was over that I had left my 817 set to 1 watt for WSPR.
TO80SP St. Pierre & Miquelon (FP) was loud on 30m CW in FL a couple of nights ago. I got ‘em on first call for a QRP ATNO (#67), as well as a new band slot—I already had FP on 40m and 20m. Worked @ 5w with KX2 + 24’ end-fed vertical wire. They’ll be QRV until 14-Oct. More info here: http://www.dl7df.com/fp/
