Comments:

You just know things aren't going to go well when, on the very first QSO on a
newly installed, well-known freeware contest logging software with a well-known
freeware RTTY software, you throw out your callsign, and what comes back is a
pop-up message on the screen telling you the program made a serious error and
must be shut down.  Fortunately, my regular digital software program, MixW, was
a click away and performed throughout the contest without a hitch.  

QRP in a contest in July is tough.  QRP with a with a broken C3 beam at 70'
fixed on NW because of the broken rotator and the other beam, an A3 fixed to
the side of the tower pointing NW at 40', makes it a bit more difficult. 
Still, I managed to eke out a goodly number of QSO's from those with good/great
hearing antennas.

If you don't believe QRP can have a backscatter signal, check the number of
east coast QSO's made with the beams on 20-15-10.   

Thanks y'all!  It was fun.
