Comments:

Another foolish QRP outing! 

The A and K indicies were pretty high, so I had hoped   
to do well on 20m and 40m to make up for the expected 
flutter on 80m.

20m was good, and I spent 90 minutes and made 5 more 
QSOs than before. I love 20m RTTY!

40m was my downfall. Sunset was 0210z, so I was on 
40m way before sunset, and with only QRP, it showed!  
I could hardly raise anyone, and calling CQ'ers just  
got another CQ in my face!  I hung in there, and 
finally was only 17 QSOs short of before.

80m was surprisingly good in the last half hour, with 
everything on the west coast worked, and 6 more QSOs 
than before.

So overall, coming close, but not topping my previous 
QRP record, falling short by 6 QSOs and 3 Mults... 
need more people and time on 20m, or an earlier 
darkness for 40m and 80m.
