Comments:

Another character-building QRP experience.
Ouch, it took 9 minutes to get my first QSO,
but after that it wasn't too bad. I couldn't 
get many answers to my CQ's, so lots of S&P.
I dreaded moving up to 40m and then 80m,  
where I feel weak up there with just a wire. But 
the QSO numbers and rate sheet says I should've
moved sooner - live and learn. As QRP, I 
feel like I'm getting mashed by the big 
signals and beaten in all the pileups, but
I'm happy anytime to break 100 QSOs in a QRP 
Sprint. While its usually strong signals that 
can be worked, there's always some good ears 
out there to surprise me. Very nice to work 
ZF2BJ while QRP in a Sprint!
