03/02/2006 | RA3AQ It was my second ARRL contest since I'm SERIOUSLY active on EME. The contest was really fun. During the first leg quite high degradation made working QRP stations more difficult, but during the second leg was really fun. QSOs with QRP stations were really easy. I was not focused on CW because I'm using "only" a GS-35B amplifier and it's not enough to be a big gun on this mode.

My antenna is a 6x6.3WL crossed yagi array (26dBi) designed and built by myself. I use 1/2" cable phasing lines and 20 meters of 7/8" feeder cable. The preamps are located in shack.

Pictures of my antenna can be found at
