I'd like to thank everyone who worked me in the contest. Running QRP it
wasn't easy at times. A number of stations kept trying until I either worked
them, or I gave up and QSY'ed. Trying to sit on a frequency and do runs did
not work. Trying to work stations on backscatter for the most part was
impossible, thus missing a lot of close in states. Although it was
frustrating, it was also a lot of fun. No phone calls from the neighbors,
and no issues with phones, stereos, etc in the house. Hope to do it again
next year.
