In this very short time I made 5 very nice QRPp CW QSO's.
The QSO's were all made with search and pounce.
In all QSO's I use the lowest possible power to answer a CQ.
When the signals are S9 I use 360 mW.
When the signal are very strong I use the PA1B 10 dB attenuator.
With a signal of S9+10dB I will reduce to 36 mW.
My antenna is an End fed sloping down to the east.
Prefx Power Miles Miles per Watt Cfmd
HG6 36 mW 695 19300
IO5 360 mW 733 2037
IQ4 360 mW 580 1610 eQSL
IQ6 360 mW 699 1940
SM2 360 mW 1024 2845 eQSL
All QSO's on 14 MHz on an End fed
Two QSO's in the contest are confirmed with an eQSL card. See below.
