What a lot of fun!
Wow, I just had a lot of fun! My first contest – and I really never thought I’d like it, but I did. Thanks Al!
I ran a portable station (my normal SOTA setup) running my X1M off a 7AHr battery and blasting out 5 watts off my dipole pitched with a swimming pool net handle. I little extra luxury – I had a table and an camp chair.
I realise the guru’s out there may think this is silly – I only made 5 contacts, but I’ll bet mine was the first log submitted – yes mine is already in 😉
I still have a lot to learn, but really enjoyed today. I now need to analyse what I did and how it worked and then improve on it next time.
Thanks to the organisers. And in the (immortal) words of Arnie “I’ll be back!”
