07/11/2005 | KQ6EE This is my 2nd time to join the IARU contest. I did it many years ago and didn't submit any score. This time, I will. This is the time to test my equipments. I was using an old SWAN 350 and FT-817 (QRP). The FT-817 can not go anywhere because it is only 5w and a verticle antenna. My old Swan is working very good. I could only contact North and South America. That is all. But I enjoyed all the fun during the contest, I only worked 20, 15, 10m. Most of the South America stations were in 15 or 10m. I will do it again next year. -- KQ6EE
