Comments:

Wow, just an unbelievable effort by operator WA2GO. Credit John with 
perseverance, patience and a great SO2R effort.  Of course, the great 
propagation helped a lot, not to mention the 4 stacked 5 el yagis on 10 and 15. 
In looking at his breakdown, 80 was useless at the 5 watt level and 40 was 
almost as bad.  20 was a real struggle.  It was only on 10 and 15 where he 
could get anything going.

Here's a typical result of hearing one side of a typical QRP QSO on 20:

"No, no,  Seven seven,seven seven, seventy-seven."

"No, no, no.  Seven, seven, seven, seventy-seven."

"Negative, negative.  First number Seven, seven, seven, seven, seventy-seven."

"Roger, roger, roger."

"Yes, yes, you have it right. Roger, roger, roger."

Repeat process 100 times.
