Comments:

Yes, no sunspots and QRP from the Pacific North Left.
As usual with QRP, CQ-ing was not productive, so almost 
all contacts were found by search-and-call, call, call ...

After the first 3 hours, there was no way I could compete 
on 40m, so I went to sleep and got up at the more 
productive 07Z and 11z for low bands. 

I had a difficult time on 20m each morning, and soon as 
possible 15m was better for me.  I tried 20m each 
morning for Europeans, but I worked more of them in the 
afternoons.   

North America was 73% of my contacts, followed by Europe 
and Asia. Don't know how I missed so much South America.
Some notable DX (for QRP left coast) was 3V9A, 6W1SJ and 
JT1CO. 

My 500 QSOs and 260K points would have made 5th place QRP 
for USA last year - so I'll keep my fingers crossed that 
I make the top ten this year.

Thanks to all the good ears who listened for me and kept 
trying untill the QSO complete. Much appreciated!
