Comments:
Another effort in getting accustomed to the new KX3 and to N1MM (also rather new
to me). This was much easier than my phone SS QRP effort with a 12 foot high
dipole in WCF. Still, the limits become pretty clear. Best DX was K0RF or KO7X.
Got a couple of ?'s from N9RV and N2IC, but no qsos. The list of people who did
not hear me at all is, of course, very long.
Still, I was able to do some running (I'd guess 25% of my qsos were such), and
on a couple of occasions actually beat out somebody when calling.
Life is still to short for QRP, but there are times when QRP is better than
NoRP. That's what I'm preparing for.
73 - Jim K8MR
