Comments:

After running low power SSB last year in this one I expected a lot less
activity on my part while running QRP. Amazingly until mid-Sunday afternoon my
QSO count was ahead of last year. Things dropped off at that point and my total
was below last year, but what a lot of fun operating QRP. I was able to work
most DX stations I heard including getting through the pileups at FR5DX and
V73UX much to my surprise. Only heard a few JAs and was not able to work any of
them and no VKs or ZLs. However 68 countries in one weekend was a great start
to QRP DXCC. 

Thanks to everyone who struggled to copy my QRP signal and to those who gave me
those 59+10 or better reports. Surely you're joking! hihi. QRP is really a good
way to develop contest operating technique and I'd recommend it to anyone.
