Comments:

FT-817 (5 watts) and Cushcraft R7000 (base @ 11 ft above ground level) 
(No 80m antenna here)

Thought I would fire up the little radio for this one and have some fun! 
It really is amazing how much the 817 does for such a small package. 
I have even been inspired to chase QRP DXCC. Thanks 8P9JG for the new one. 

First hour was 25 QSOs, which was promising with QRP. 
Then I listened to 40m and it had S8-S9 noise, yucko! 
The M class flare in the second hour did not help much either:

Decided to watch the ending of "Boys Town" with the XYL...

Catch the fun in the Worked All Europe DX Contest SSB (Sep 14-15)
