I did something similar at our club's annual QRP nite last fall. K2 and auto tuner, 5 watts to a piece of wire taped to that nice DK9 pole, more wire as a counterpoise sort of laying on the ground. As many Q's on 30m at 5 watts as I wanted, but I let the radio rest while others with inferior receivers could have stab at it. A bit later, I heard a pileup for someone sort of rare in the Carribean, and worked him after about a dozen calls.
