Comments:
Stayed Single-op QRP, no packet, and made more contacts than
during Sweepstakes CW with packet.
Missed PR and NL, but had heard them both at various times
with pileups I couldn't bust with a half-dozen QRP calls, so
I moved on.
I had problems with PTT keying on one radio, so had to scramble
to swap to the other radio at times when it acted up - always
in the middle of a valuable contact!
Helped several newcomers through the exchange.
I started on 15m for a great two hours, and had another good
four hours there on Sunday, which is why it has the majority of
my contacts. Maybe I should forget low-bands QRP and just sleep
more. 20m was a jungle, with people stacked two or three deep,
and lots of jockeying to find and hold a frequency. The QRM made
exchanges very slow, with lots of fills. 40m and 80m was initially
hard work, but by late evening it was possible to work anyone I
could hear above S7.
Lots of good ears, so thanks for listening for my QRP signal.
