As you all know I am a huge fan of QRP, but after reading
the feedback below from Roger ZS6RJ (the guy with the rather loud headset) I could not resist sharing his feedback "Ode to a QRP contest".
Conditions on the higher HF bands were rather poor and
working QRP DX from the southern tip of Africa was not easy to say the least.
I did not work a single DX station, I sure hope others fared
better.
Ode to a QRP contest:
“Come help with QRP”
“It’ll be a hoot, you’ll see”
I raised the hex beam with great glee
Ignoring the fiberglass stuck in me
Calling ad-nausea for more than an hour
Left me disillusioned and rather sour
So as the QRP leader broke down the camp
I whacked him over the head, with my linear amp.
