Texas QSO Party 2010

I participated in the 2010 Texas QSO Party from the Windmill Backpack camp site in Colorado Bend State Park near Bend, TX, in San Saba county.

The park had conducted a prescribed burn in the area recently, so the leaves on most of the trees were dead. Although it wasn't particularly scenic, it was still a pretty nice spot to participate in the contest from.

The radios I used included a KD1JV AT Sprint 3 on 80m and 20m, a Small Wonder Labs SW+ on 40m, and an MFJ Cub 9315K on 15m. The antenna was a doublet; 67' on 40m and shorter, and 134' on 80m, supported by a Jackite kite pole.
