Comments:

A brief effort on my part -- partly because of outside commitments, but also
because of propagation.  Operating QRP meant I had to work hard for almost every
QSO.  There weren't any "slam dunks."  And mine is not a "minimalist" station --
I have a Force 12 C4SXL at 50-feet (2 elements on each band 40-20-15-10).

Sometimes, working a station required 5-6 calls, occasionally I was asked 2-3
times for repeats (thanks, guys for taking your time to listen for me).  And
sometimes, I couldn't be heard by stations who were S9+ at my QTH -- even when
there was no one else calling them.

Still, there were a few gems.... XV1X on 15, CN2R on 20, among them.  

Interestingly,  about 73-percent of the stations I worked were running 1KW, 
9 percent in the 200-500 W range and  13 percent  were running 100 W.  
I worked only one QRP station WP3R (congratulations to WP3R!!).
