Comments:

This was my first try at the NAQP SSB contest.  I've always
done CW only before.  This just served to remind me why I
prefer CW :-)  I enjoyed the contest, for the most part.  I
never identify as a QRP station, so I was surprised how many
stations recognized me as a QRPer and gave encouraging comments.
Thanks, fellows.

Fred, K6DGW, has mentioned how signals just turn into an
indistinct mush around the dinner hour out here.  I think I'm
going to try to remember that in my planning of off-times in the
next NAQP I work.

I had fun moving a couple of stations between bands.  I really
need to work on this more, as I had more opportunities than I
used.  My station is set up for instant band change, so all I
need do is type in the new frequency and I'm there, ready to
transmit.  During moves, I was always waiting for the other guy
to arrive.

This outing was a bit disappointing.  Like the NAQP CW run, I
had a lot of unworked mults still up on the screen at the end of
the contest.  I suppose the midwest and eastern weather
situations can account for a part of that.  There were whole
sections of the US and Canada that I never heard a peep out of.
Ditto any DX.

Thanks for all the Qs, and the patience with my little signal.
Now to work on my setup for the CQ 160 CW coming up.  Hope to
see a bunch of you there next weekend.
73, Bob N6WG
