Comments:

A slow start first day, couldn't get CQing to work QRP, 
so lots of slower S&P. CQing worked better on Sunday.
Ran into lots of "Q" stations with numbers above mine - 
which didn't help. At first I didn't think I'd even make 
last years score. But I sucked it up and pushed extra 
hard on Sunday, and pulled in more Qs on 
the second day!  

A couple periods of rain static made copy miserable, 
but otherwise the new antennas worked well, the old 
equipment worked well, and the old operator did better 
than last year! 

As usual the mults were easily found S&P or called me - 
with the exception of NL which I never heard.

15m was weak and unreliable, with signals 
up and down for just a few hours each day. 20m was 
the hero, with 40m close behind as soon as the sun set.

Every now and then a QSO would say "FB QRP" and that 
would cheer me up. Thanks for the listening!
