Comments:
Got on just to see if I could, aiming for, maybe, 100 Qs. With full legal
power, for the first time, I got a bit enthused, so I stayed on for a while.
Only found one good run frequency in the entire contest. It was fun, but
embarrassing, because I am not as good at running on phone as I should be. I'm
also not 100% clear that I had my rig properly set for phone - after I had one
guy tell me that my speech was distorted, I backed way off. Time to re-read the
manual and spend some dummy load time.
Had a hard time with line noise on this broadband mode, as well as snow static
on Sunday. Until BGE fixes this known problem, I'll stick to CW.
The station:

KPA-1500 amplifier
C-3E at 50 feet

40M full-wave parasitic sloper aimed at Europe
