CQ-WPX CW 2003


QTH: nr Frankfurt/Main
Rig: K2/ 5 watts, vertical for 40/15 meters home-made (8.70m of length)
3-ele tribander G4ZU-style - 1st time up not perfectly working yet
Logging: Toshiba T1000LE (XT, DOS, CT6.2)

Results: 120 QSOs in 6 hours - not too bad but rain forced me to give up earlier than I had planned.
