I just got this in an e-mail from NAQCC – 1st Place in the November Sprint in the Simple Wire Antenna (SWA) and Keyer Category – plus I was portable! This Sprint was run from Seminary Ridge in Gettysburg National Park; a KX-3 running 5W to a 40M Hamstick using a mag mount on my vehicle roof – parked on the side of the road! I made 10 QSOs in 7 states (including CA and UT!). This QRP portable stuff is amazing!!!!!
I received the ARRL NPOTA Activator Certificate today. Very nice!
