N9KYSA QRP ALLFirst time QRP setup at a remote cabin with a packable antenna
N9TFSA QRP 80MN1MM says 2 hours on time, actually more like 6 hours total. Was very rough going Qrp with low (35' apex) short dipole. Only had eveings to operate. Decided to give 80m QRP a tryand see what kind of damage I could do! Friday night band was full of lighthning static crashes, but did hear some EU through all the crashes. CS2C was incredibly loud, but never heard my call. Saturday night was terrible. Signals were week, no EU heard, and most all state side stations had lots of polar flutter from the AU in progress. I finally pushed the off button on the rig sometime after midnight as my calls were going unanswered. On the bright side, 6 meters was popping to the Caribbean Sunday afternoon. I was able to work two ATNO's on 6 during a break from heloing the XYL plant the garden! Rig K3s set to 5 watts, 40/80 short dipole at 35' apex slopping down to 15' at each end. 73 Gene, N9TF
