The BERU CW contest was nearly 2 weeks ago. It's a contest for stations in the British Commonwealth to work each other. It's not the high pressure of the big DX contests but still brings out stations from interesting parts of the world.
This year I took the linear amplifier to the park at the end of the street. I was using a T vertical antenna with each leg 5m long. Contacts were made on 40 & 20m. There was also some European DX on 30m worked (not part of the contest). Also notable was the strong signals from US-based Reverse Beacon receives on 40m. This will definitely be a site I'll return to given the results.
I was also active last year but as a QRP station from the beach. Here's my video from then.
