Condx were poor, of course. Only 8 Qs in South America!
But this is an international contest, and my best contest Qs were A31MM, UA1CE,
and F6HKA, all on 20 M. Getting into Europe was quite a surprise for me. With
QRP from out here on the west coast, Europe has become very tough!
My DXCC was 18 compared to 51 only 2 years ago!
N1MM says my op time was only 10.2 hours, but that doesn't count all the time I
spent tuning with no Qs!!
I won #1 QRP in North America and a very nice plaque the first year that this
contest was opened up for North America. But I have never come close to doing
that since then. Ops have discovered what a great contest this is!
