My first all out effort and best score in this contest.  I hope it stands 
for a new Southwest Division QRP record.  The first night had the better 
conditions, as others have remarked.  Only 3 new mults worked the second
night.  Worked XE2/N7NC and J6A for "DX".  The happy surprise of the 
contest was working J6A, who answered my CQ the second night! 
There's lots of good ears out there.
