Most of the QRP Ops I see in the blogging world brag about their contacts and I can’t blame them, but most of them are doing it with the Digital Modes or CW…
Seeing that I dislike the Digital Modes and also CW almost as much as I enjoy Tax Audits…. you have to remember that when you see me talking about making contacts…. I’m doing it with QRP SSB…. So if you want to try a hard QRP QSO disconnect the computer…. unhook the key and hook up your microphone and test out your vocal cords….
Today I managed a couple of 20m SSB contacts…. Nothing Rare!!! but they were made with 5w and a vertical and on SSB…
So thanks go out to :
K5ER (1245 miles from Ottawa)
—————————————————————————————–
PI4COM (just under 3500 miles from Ottawa)
For having a good enough station to hear my piddley 5w of SSB over all the contesting stations today…
