QRP Contests, August 2005
Is life too short for QRP?
Judging from some of the contacts we were able to complete,
it would appear that the jury is still out.

QRP 2005 - continued
Admittedly, on 2 metres, we had rigged the usual high performance aerial array but on 70 Cms only two 21 eles
were possible on the Clarke trailer-mast.
ODX on 2 was down into JN47 square at 707 km, while on 70cms 677 km was the limit, again to the SE, into JN59.
Conditions were mixed with some considerable enhancement on Saturday for 2M while on Sunday the 70cm band was far
from stable but supported good range if one was prepared to wait for the QSB to ease.
Good Contest!
