*** QRP DX - WHAT DOES IT TAKE? ***
Band Condx, Antenna, Rig, Skill ?
As if Steve's adventures with 5 watts were not enough, he decided to change the parameters to give himself another challenge. This time his output power was 900mw and the antenna was a Mosley TA33jr at 33 feet on 20 meters and the same 900mw into a 40m horizontal loop at 20 feet. The 20 meter results were 30 states, Brazil and New Zealand (7455 miles/watt) and on 40, two JA's for 6036 miles/watt.
The rig was an ICOM 703.

Way to go Steve!
