Comments:

Conditions seemed to be OK, but not quite as good as 2007. Was very difficult
working into Europe, and never heard Asia.  Of course, there are many, many
prefixes in North America,the Carribean, and South America, so multipliers
weren't a problem.

New, lash up antenna worked ok, but could be better.  Never had an answer to a
CQ, so it was all S&P, but what can be expected from 5 Watts and a wet noodle
antenna?

Lots of fun with WQ8 prefix, it was hard for some folks to copy, but with a
unique prefix most people dug deep to get my information.

Thanks to Michigan QRP Club for the use of WQ8RP - Nice call for the WPX
contest!
