Stew Perry – Mostly SWL

On a ‘better late than never’ note:

I made just a few QSO’s(only 33) in the Stew Perry contest, but it was interesting SWL’ing the run stations. I heard several EU stations on the K9AY that were inaudible on the transmit antenna. The noise on the transmit antenna was high enough to make using the K9AY on receive preferable.

Sometimes listening is more educational than transmitting, and I wasn’t being heard very well anyway.
