160 Meter CQWW

January 28, 2008 in Contesting by W7QC Steve | 2 comments

The CQWW 160 meter contest was fun. My electric fence noise was present but not as bad as it has been. I operated both nights between about 4:00 pm and midnight. The first night was much more productive than the second. I ended up with 469 contacts, 53 state/provinces and 8 countires for a final score of 71,797. I only remember calling a couple of stations that did not come back to me and only a couple of stations that I could not copy.

Were you running a KW?

Paul,

I was using the K3 and the QRO 2500 amp at around 1200 watts. My antenna is an Inverted-L with a 110 foot vertical section and a 55 foot horizontal section and around 100 buried radials. I use the same antenna for transmitting and receiving.
