Comments:

I decided to try QRP this year and was amazed at how well my simple all-band 80M
wire worked out from this location.  I didn't think there would be any chance
for a Sweep with 5 watts and a wire antenna!  

Biggest thrills were finding NP4Z and getting through when he said "UP 2",
finding VY0JA and having him patiently dig me out on 20, and finally getting
through to W0KT for NE after a long wait in the pileup!

It's always fun to work so many great c.w. ops in this contest.

Rig:  Icom IC-746 at 5 watts.
Antennas: 80-meter all band wire plus 3-el inverted vee beam west on 40
meters.

GL and 73,

Gary - W1ECH
