ARCI QRP Fall QSO Party


Managed to get on for a few contacts on the Fall QSO Party.
Rig FT-1000MkV turned down to 5 watts
Ant. Cushcraft R-7
Conditions were OK but 40 was difficult with the PA QSO party and there was a lot of FISTS activity which is hard to distinguish so I mostly called CQ on 20M and worked the following stations.
