Comments:

I got up for the 5AM start, and worked all the 
excited people. Then settled down for a lot of trying 
for Europe, and lots of 20m and 15m all day long. I 
took an afternoon nap so I could get back on in 
darkness after sunset for low bands. I like the 
24 hr format better than the long 48 hr contests.

Not enough sunspots to really open 10m, but 15m was 
good. Don't ask about working Europeans while QRP 
in the Northwest corner pocket (OK, I managed to work 
8 of them.) A total of 33 DXCC entities worked, many 
more heard, but not workable QRP. No "zero point" QSOs, 
so the USA is able to work each other. Big thanks to 
W1AW/6 and NU1AW/5 for all the HQ Mults on so many 
bands! The operators showed a lot of patience and 
good operating.

I love that there are no "packet pileups" (since Single 
Ops can't use packet), and that most running stations 
identify on every QSO.

In 2009 I made 30 QSOs, in 2010 Zero, so this year was 
a big improvement. Thanks for the contacts!
