Comments:
In between operating shifts w/NX6T, I found time FOR cobbling together
a QRP All Asian operation run remotely from our 2ndary contest site atop
the mountaintop outside Ramona California.
I ran the onsite-K3 via a K3/0 setup at W7AYT's QTH in Concord, Ca.
Unfortunately, the internet in Concord causes a rocky back/forth
interruption of the data stream, requiring REPEATs even w/strong signals.
(If you know how to FIX this situation, e-mail me.)
For whatever reason, I was unable to actually make QRP QSOs on the bands
below 20-meters. For the high-bands the 3-el Stepp-IR (at 55') performed
SUPERBLY. Unfortunately, 10-meters did NoT perform from the Ramona QTH,
NoT even on Sunday when a JA-Duct developed between Japan and Anza.
For WQ6X, the bottom-line was to prove once again, that amazing DX contacts
can be had with only 5-watts; the REAL secret of course is a mountaintop
location and a 55' tower.
