Comments:

When running QRP on 160 meters, you work maybe 40 percent of the stations you
call. Some operators have a style which allows them to run a frequency and
listen for the weak signal. To those, I say "thank you very much". One such Op
in this contest was KS4YT in Cottondale, Al. who just would not quit on a weak
signal and kept trying for about 15 minutes to make the contact and exchange,
and it worked.

Other OPs would not hear you if you were running 1KW and sitting next to
them. 

Conditions poor on Friday night and Saturday morning, but improving by
Saturday
night.  A favorite contest and always a big challenge for QRP.
