[MiQP-Mail] Response to Hank

[Hank Greeb]

Scott:

The only thing I go out for is to set a new record for a county in the 
QRP category.  It's not difficult with there's no record at all!

I was very lucky this year that KD8HNF loaned me the use of his remote 
site in IONIa county, and that the gods of the ethereal waves smiled 
upon us with great in state propagation.  Bob, KD8HNF has what would be 
called a "modest" site, with a spiderbeam for 20/15/10 at 50' or so, and 
a G5RV for 80 and 40 meters, situated as an inverted V with the apex at 
about 40'.  But, it helped that K6JSS/IONI was the only station from 
IONIA county!

I haven't determined the county from which I plan to operate in 2014, 
but it will be one which has a very low score for QRP (or zero, as all 
too many counties have for this category).

I'd like to see more ops choose to operate with 5 watts or less - I find 
that the score I make with this power is not much different than when I 
was running 100 watts or so.

See ya on during MiQP 2014!  Let the better op/station win!
