Comments:

Good conditions, lots of strong signals. Never heard anyone from the "NL" 
section or "ID". Could not believe VY1MB would hear me but he did after trying 
off and on for 3 plus hours. He is my hero!

Always difficult to work QRP on 80 or 40 meters but have to in order to get 
some of the close sections. Most contacts were made with 1 try and no repeats.

Had good success with a new folded dipole at 30 ft on 10 meters and the old 
stand by Carolina windom at 30 feet for the other bands. Bigger and higher is 
better but copper wire close to the ground can be a lot of fun when that is 
your only choice.
