Graphical summary of my participation as EE5E in the ARRL CW DX contest. Ninety-one contacts on 10, 15 and 20 m, most in the east coast of North America and Great Lakes area. I was using a 5-metre vertical wire with a 49:1 and #5W of power, with a BaMaKey paddle attached to my #XieguG90 (20 WPM). Used Not1MM+Flrig for logging and CAT. Sat for about 14 hours in total.

P.S. The shortest valid ham call sign in the world is not EE5E, as I thought, but rather I5E if it were ever issued.

Using my brand-new contest call sign EE5E (possibly the shortest call sign in the world in Morse code) in the ARRL CW DX contest. Searching and pouncing, I see that it is a hard call sign for calling stations to hear, particularly if running just 5 W.
