VK2EZF SINGLE-OP MIXED LOW Thank you to all the contest officials. Just for fun I'm trying out my new QCX mini QRP CW transceiver with 4 watts to a doublet at 8m. Worked a couple of sessions between household activities. Only made 3 qsos but pleasantly surprised that they were into VK3 and VK4 - oddly, no VK2s. Would you perhaps consider offering more points for CW to encourage more CW operation? Thanks, 73.
