1,000+ MPW award... finally!
Sat 05 December 2015
A few months ago I
reported
that I had achieved the 1,000 miles per watt SKCC
award only later
to find out that my radio was putting out 7 watts instead of the 0.1
watts I thought it was putting out. After sending the radio off for
repair (there were a few other issues that cropped up) I now have a
working radio that has been fully calibrated. One of my first contacts
was with K2PAY in New York. I was able to work him with my 100mW and
put him in the log at a distance of 240 miles and 2402 miles per watt!
I'm happy to have the award with the 2,000 miles per watt endorsement.
