Comments:

That was probably the last opportunity to enter SOAB QRP because of cycle.
I have improved all my personal records except multiplier on 40M which was 
worse by 3. Conditions in central Poland were extremely good, and I wasn't well 
prepared for such opening, having experience from the year 2000. However the 
goal was reached - breaking "Polish QRP record" was possible even the first 
day.
Being happy to win in this national category I had a nice and cold shower when 
my QRP friend ( he will post his score later, I hope )called me today 
announcing that his rough score is better than mine about 10k points which 
equals ~10 QSOs. He had worse multiplier, anyway. I was angry with me and happy 
for him. There is always next year ! . Lesson learned - " Don't give up even if 
you are winner already - Someone will overtake you then ". Thanks to everyone 
who picked up my weak calls, however on 10m I received some amazing reactions 
of 599oo5.
