Comments:

Operating QRP in this one was tough sledding.  While it was nice to work the
loud regulars, I didn't hear as much cqing from casual contest ops.  Therefore,
I did a lot of dial spinning waiting for someone to cq.

My attempts at cqing didn't get much results.  On Sunday, I finally got a good
run of about 17 stations on 10m where my qrp signal made a small dent.  On 15m,
I had only one station come back to a cq despite those who told me that I had a
good qrp signal.  On 75m, I was pleased to work 25 stations with my 5 watts on
my new inverted L.

Heard but didn't work a lot of sections because they only were calling the loud
cqing stations.   As for more QSOs, this contest would be a lot more fun if we
could work stations again on each band which would give everyone a lot more QSO
action.
  
Nice to work GMCC members KO7X, W0AH and W0ZA.  Heard but wasn't able to work
K0DU and K0RI.
