ARI DX contest 2024

I participated in the ARI DX contest in May for just half an hour.
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.

IQ4FA - 360 mW 580 miles - 1610 Miles per Watt

SM2M - 360 mW - 1024 miles - 2845 Miles per Watt
