"Dueling INDEX QRP+s" from GA/SC Border.
Mike Boatright KO4WX and I operated side by side but independently from
GA/SC Border from Tugaloo State Park. We each used INDEX QRP+ rigs and
various antennas including inverted Vee 40 mtr Dipole, Parking Lot
Portable Vertical (PLPV) (20/15mtrs), and W3EDP Longwire 87ft(Inverted L)
at 25 ft (80/40/20/15) with 1/4 wave for each band counterpoise on the
ground. I used my LDG Auto tuner on the W3EDP end-fed antenna on all bands
and got it to auto tune to less than 1.5 to 1 SWR on all bands. That's
fast and easy right from the operating position. Putting a multi-position
coax switch in line to the antennas made antenna switching easy as well.
We had the PLPV separated from the other antennas about 150ft so we had no
problem with RX overload. 20 and 40 mtrs were the best but 15 mtrs did
open in the afternoon for awhile. We checked 10 mtrs periodically but
never heard any stations. We did raise a NOGA member on 80 meters for an
80 mtr SPC. Thanks Bob/WA1EDJ. Even though the SF was low and the A-index
not too good we had a great time again this year. We cooked some great
steaks over the camp fire that night and talked about the great day we had
experienced. I'm convinced that the two man contest concept is the way to
go. It gives you help with tents, antennas,etc plus spurs the other guy on
to good results and keep on plugging away when things get slow. BTW I used
my Tandy100 logging program this year and it worked great. Looking forward
to the next QRPTTF. Sam/AE4GX
