Comments:

There is definitely a trick to running QRP in this contest.  I sure wish I knew
that trick!

Actually I learned a lot, mostly from doing the wrong things.  I need to manage
my off-times better.  My lowest rate was during the last two hours of the
contest, and I should have taken time off then.  Also, I found myself spending
way too much time trying to bust pile-ups with 5 watts.  

Anyway, I sure had a good time and set a goal to beat next February.  It was
also pretty cool being on a team for the first time.  It makes you want to work
a little harder.

The rig was a K2 at 5 watts.  Antenna was vertical on 20/15 and 150' sloper for
80/40.  I need an antenna for 160 and will be working on that soon.  Logging was
with Writelog 10.32.

73,

John, WA6L
