Comments:

Stayed Single-op QRP, no packet, and made more contacts than 
during Sweepstakes CW with packet. 

Missed PR and NL, but had heard them both at various times 
with pileups I couldn't bust with a half-dozen QRP calls, so 
I moved on.

I had problems with PTT keying on one radio, so had to scramble 
to swap to the other radio at times when it acted up - always 
in the middle of a valuable contact!

Helped several newcomers through the exchange.

I started on 15m for a great two hours, and had another good 
four hours there on Sunday, which is why it has the majority of 
my contacts. Maybe I should forget low-bands QRP and just sleep 
more. 20m was a jungle, with people stacked two or three deep, 
and lots of jockeying to find and hold a frequency. The QRM made 
exchanges very slow, with lots of fills. 40m and 80m was initially 
hard work, but by late evening it was possible to work anyone I 
could hear above S7. 

Lots of good ears, so thanks for listening for my QRP signal.
