I know, QRP SSB during FD at the bottom of the cycle. What a surprise, all 15 or so candidates made one or more contact.
Our regular GOTA guy for Ski Country ARC, K0RV-2A Colorado, took a year off so I volunteered. We used my VW Camper, end fed UNUN and KX3.
Here are some observations:
1. The small foot print of the KX3 and Camper seemed to relax people.
2. Dual head phones helped in tuning a signal, so important during crowded conditions.
3. The KX3 filters did a fine job on QRM from the other two nearby 100 watt transmitters.
4. I participated in a large Multi-Multi CQWW operation where there was a "desk clerk" bell at each station which was rung when we got a new Multi. I honked the horn instead for each new GOTA contact. The reaction from everyone was amazing.
