Comments:

QRP and no sunspots mean DX is hard to get!
But at the closing bell, I had 75 different countries.
I had a "stretch goal" of 400 QSOs, so I was pretty much on track.

Friday night instead of battling the East Coast wall to work 
Europeans, I went to sleep and got up at 1AM to work JAs.

Second night I tried EU 40m and 80m but signals were weak and I 
could only raise a handful. The 2AM hour was more productive.

The 20m mornings to Europe were difficult - many thanks to the 
operators who listened hard and stuck with me to complete the QSO.
15m had a large number of Carribean and South America, and later 
a fair number of JAs.

QRP CQing for DX was useless, so I was search-and-pounce on one 
radio, and left the other radio listening to nothing on 10m.

Thanks for your patience and QSOs!
