Hello folks,
I worked from home using a simple home made 1/2 size g5rv squeezed into my garden as an inverted V with the legs bent near the ends.
Not the ideal setup but at least it allowed me to work the contest from home.
The classic section allows you to operate a total of 24hrs over the 2 days, I managed 13.5hrs running 100w from a ft 710 and M1MM logging software.
So even with a fairly simple set-up you can achieve a respectable result. So why not give some of these international competitions a go! You never know how you will fare.
