Re: Topband: QRP ARCI 160 meter sprint
Thank you for the announcement Jim, All you guys with great receiving antennas andQTH locations will have an opportunity to testyour mettle in this event that is more aboutlistening and hearing and efficiency than poweroutput. Wish there were certificates for QRO operatorswho worked the most QRP stations. Here the condo board spotted the raisedradials and they had to be removed but the inv. L is still up and will be tried in the sprintwith a few radials tucked beneath thefallen leaves.. Good luck and thanks for listening.

Re: Topband: QRP ARCI 160 meter sprint
I'm hoping there will be SOME QRP participants, Tim, but remember being in it two years ago and pickings were slim. I have promoted it at the QRP-L reflector as well. Problem for us out west is that a 1700 local start time is kinda early BUT...I'll be there with bells on - hihi > Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 10:43:26 -0500 > From: tsho...@gmail.com > To: rodenkirch_...@msn.com; topband@contesting.com > Subject: Re: Topband: QRP ARCI 160 meter sprint > > Thank you James!

Re: Topband: QRP ARCI 160 meter sprint
Thank you James! I do not think I have done the QRP ARCI events in the past but I will give this 160M one a try. Wednesday right before Thanksgiving actually works out well for me. This will be my first SO2R effort, and I will be doing some improvements to give me pushbutton receive antenna selection at both rigs. There is also a NAQCC 160M event coming up in January: http://naqcc.info/sprint201501_160.html In the NAQCC 160M events I reliably have good solid exchanges with from upper midwest down to Texas. My west-facing pennant is a real winner to upper midwest and my K9AY pointing SW works good for Texas and Georgia etc. Sweepstakes certainly doesn't have much representation on 160M but I was very impressed by many impressive QRP station performances on 80M in both CW and SSB sweepstakes.
