This was the 1st WQ6X Cinco de contest operation running QRP.
Having access to KN6NBT's "Cliffside" location on top of the mountain
in Ramona made QRP operation a reality. Many stations had trouble believing
I was really a QRP station. Having access to a 3-el Stepp-IR, a 2-el
Shorty-40 and a double-Bazooka on 80 (all at 50 feet) allowed me to point
the antennas giving the 5-watt signal just enough oomph to be heard
domestically, altho numerous DX calls were also received on the high bands.
Internet dropouts prolly accounted for my voice sounding choppy sometimes.
I am always disappointed by the small number of Indiana stations who play
in their own QSO party. We could blame the receive-end of things, except
that there were virtually less than a handful of INQP spots. Either run
the QSO party later in the evening (like 7QP) or give us another GO on
Sunday like the NEQP does.
Nevertheless, I submit a log for EVERY contest, just in case other W6 stations
don't.
