Yesterday evening, I coninued enjoying excellent conditions on 20m and decided to call /QRP with 5W PEP.
Well, my first one was Wally, R1AND, from Antarctica !!!!!!!!!!!! A new one for my DXCC QRP !
Then a few US stations (again Dick, WN3R, who was really booming here, and K5SIV from Austin, TX.
Reports difference bewteen 5 and 100W PEP was not that big, maybe due to the fact those some QSB was already there. I should try again this evening, a little bit earlier (the band was starting to close already yestersay, earlier than the day before)...So if you hear me calling on 14.222MHz (+/- QRM), don't hesitate !!!!!!!
Best time for me to try QRP is at about 20:00-20:30z. Band is still well open in my area (West Europe), whereas conditions are already decreasing everywhere else in Europe.
This good opening lasts roughly a good hour before the conditions start to change, making therefore QRP very difficult!!!!!
Anyway, I had a great fun again !
