Aug 2016 144mhz Low Power

A new contest for us, we've never entered the Low power contests, usually operating QRO.
This is a Maximum of 25w measured at the Transciever.
We went for a simple setup, operating from one the crew shelters of the former WW2 Capel Battery.

The Contest

Setup went smoothly apart from not locating the longer stub mast, which ment a single Yagi, Lots of strong French stations to start with, But long periods of deep QSB, mini pileup when 2EOIJH ran a frequency for a short time, Highlight was a unexpected tropo opening to spain when GOPDZ  bagged EA1FCH/P at 1066Km
