That freq is do able, top of the band, my VSWR is a little high there as I am cut for the bottom but the tuner will take care of that problem.

WELL ON 80 HOW ABOUT 3992,
I don't operate much on 80 except the WINTER
DOCTOR/795

So then frequencies set.
10 meters: 28.455, 20 meters: 14.320, 40 will be 7.282 and 75 will be 3.992. All plus or minus.

Working straight through until the 21st

Will try to get on the bands after work and early mornings.

4x multiplier for QRP. For this contest QRP is 10 watts or less.

The above will qualify for any contacts made with me. I have a power amp but I don't run it because the neighbors all have old equipment and my transmissions cause them to freak out a bit. Plus the wife is on vacation and she is keeping me busy running and visiting and doing all of the things she doesn't have time for during the work week.
I will be on and off the air so it will be catch as catch can.

Does anybody have a template for putting the contact information in a format that can just be copy/pasted in to the contest data? That would eliminate extra key punching.

I am lucky to get just a few contacts in the last couple of contacts. Sure did not take much time to put the contacts on the forum.

Word or notepad can be copied and pasted.

Okay, I understand. I was hoping for a spreadsheet format with the columns named for "Call Sign", "UTC time", "Signal Strength" and "Frequency". If there was a standard format it would be very easy for the judges to just import the data.

Here you go.

I'm just going to try to listen on 10 and 40 meters. Who knows, I might just get lucky and hear somebody.

20 would be the likeliest one though..

you only have HF privileges on 15m and 20m?

 

[Tallman]

I'm going to hit them all! Hope to hear you guys and make contact!

Sorry, no. I have priveleges only on 40 and 15. I still can't operate on 20. I just meant that I'm likelier to hear North America stations on 20.
