My first contest at high power and being assisted.
The 10m band was wide open today (sunday) but the lack of a decent antenna on this band prevented me from capitalizing on this opening.
15m was my most successfull band.
I heard Luc on the bands but I must admit that we are not too far from each other.
I heard stations answering VA2WA and VE2XAA so I know you were doing a fine job guys as usual.
I found a way to use the CONTOUR feature on my the FT-950 and the results were amazing.
I programmed it to notch at -40 dB (max setting) and I used it to cut through the QRM.
The results were amazing and permitted me to make some very difficult QSOs.
This radio is really amazing.
Being more at ease with my AL-811H I pushed it closer to its full output power
and it helped me to bag some difficult QSOs.
Had a lot of fun.
