Country Number 71 towards DXCC QRP was tacked on tonight.
EI5E - Ireland.
40 Meters - almost down at the band edge. I was stoked and pumped and ready to look for more. Then the buzzsaw that is my neighborhood QRN came on, drowning out everything on 40 Meters.
I came upstairs and watched a re-broadcast of Game 3 of the 1969 Mets-Orioles World Series on Sports Net New York. Ah yes, pitchers and catchers have reported for Spring Training! It does my heart a world of good.

Ireland was my first DX QSO with a new FT-817 early last summer. Antenna was a window-mounted Buddistick. He didn't know I was QRP at the time and gave me a 579 report.
ReplyDeleteI was flabergasted. Haven't had similar luck since. Sigh!
