Comments:

I decided to do QRP for the first time to enhance my score knowing full well 
that it would affect my DXing capabilities. It worked! I had almost no DX but 
plenty of score.

I was also surprised at how well people could copy my QRP signal. I came to 
the conclusion that QRP "rocks" when you have very large antennas but "sucks" 
with average antennas.

I still think the QRP scoring advantage in this contest is too high.
