There were a few QRP events this weekend so I set up an EFHW in the back yard and gave it a try. Saturday afternoon was the Leaf Peeper contest, but all I heard was California QSO party (“CQP”) and some SKCC activity. No LP heard. Sunday evening was the Peanut Power Sprint, and as it was after the CQP ended, those signals were booming on 20 and 40m. It was getting dark and the skeeters were coming out so I made a few QSOs then packed it up.
The QRP events are fun as the operators are accommodating and the code is copyable. I only made a few mistakes but didn’t need any fills. Thanks to W3ATB and NOGA QRP for organizing this weekend’s fun.
