Comments: My original goal was to break the 1000 Q mark but found that this
was not going to happen. Then it was just to beat last years score. I worked
several "Q" stations and was pushing myself because VE4VV had 284 Q's to my
328 and N6MU had 407 Q's to my 462. I heard N6MU later with 520 to my 575. I
know with his "big QRP station" (Oxymoron??) he was the one to watch. I did
have one observation, "Why is it when someone is done tuning up on your run
frequency, they don't give you a call??"
