Comments:
Wow! What a ride! 20 was so-so, 40 lasted until the bitter end, though it
went long and sparse, but still some of the Michigan stations were workable,
80/75 was surprisingly good after dark, but with many stations staying on 40 it
got sparse toward the end.
Best personal results for a MiQP - beat my old record by almost a factor of
two. This was greatly enhanced by the use of KD8HNF's remote site (Tnx, Bob),
high on a hill in IONIa county. Also, a rare county (seems like the other
IONIa fellow must have been tied up with flood relief work because the Grand
River was flooding in Saranac - Wow! I barely made it to the site because of
the flood south of Lowell!
Thanks to QRPARCI for use of K6JSS call - no one asked for a QRPARCI number,
though I announced that I'd be happy to give one which would help in the BIG 13
challenge for the year 2013.
Worked quite a few of the mobiles - tnx for digging down amidst the pileups to
pick out the QRP signal!
And, I worked DL2HBX on CW and SSB, on 20 meters so my "mighty 5 watts, with
the aid of KD8HNF's Hex Beam really did the trick! Thanks ULI for digging me
out of the mud!
And, thanks to the organizers of the event!
