Details on My Quest for DXCC QRP

Radios used to make the contacts:
Yaesu FT897: 4
Elecraft K2: 47
Elecraft KX1: 8
Elecraft KX3: 42

Some Statistics on antennas used:
Longest Contact: Rodriguez Island 10090 miles with the K2 with ZS6BKW
Shortest Contact" Canada at 692 miles with the K2

Almost 90% of the contacts were made on 3 amateur bands: 40m, 30m and 20m

Three antennas were used at various times - The Par End Fed Z - multiband end fed dipole, the full size G5RV, and the ZS6BKW.  The latter 2 are multi-band dipoles fed with 450 ohm window lines.  The average distance for a contact on the Par antenna was 4433 miles.  The ZS6BKW outdistanced the G5RV by about 310 miles on average with the G5RV averaging 3544 miles/contact while the ZS6BKW average 3854 per contact.  The contact with Rodriguez Island skewed the average to the ZS6BKW.  Here is the complete list.
