I decided for the month of April I wanted to crank down to 1 watt (QRPp) and see how many contacts I can get on each band (10m down to 40m)... just for fun and a challenge.
Everything outside the circle is a QRPp 1 watt 1000 MPW award
One of the programs I like to use to see if I'm getting out is the "Wideband Shortwave Radio Receiver Map (http://rx.linkfanel.net/). This way I can tell how far and how well received I am around the world or locally. Great tool.
------------------------------------
NOTE:
All contacts are done by either
1/ Calling out "CQ"
2/ Answering a "CQ"
3/ Hearing a QSO taking place which is about to close and on doing so, I give my callsign, hoping they hear me
------------------------
