Decided to get on at the last minute, since my 20m Yagi is dangling off the side
of the tower, held on by rope....after flying around in a recent wind storm. 

So fired up the 160 Inverted L thru the tune on 20, and then turned the rig
down to 5 watts just to see what might happen.

Well 20 was tough, but open, so a few mults got in the log....however... 40 was
a nice surprise full of loud signals.
Even though nary a jump ball was possible with the QRP...  went around calling
anything that moved. and believe me there was A LOT of MOVING going on !

Good fun .. contest was about 6 KHZ wide and full of loud fast calls...  40 was
great !   didnt even feel like I was running 5 watts at all...but sure enough
the needle on the wattmeter was barely wiggling. (and NO... i didnt have it on
SWR!!!)

Then to 80 and 160... where QRP, as NN7SS has many times noted, is a real
drag.

So slunk across the finish line with a few mults and lots of calling. 

Good fun sprinting... as always.

see ya next time whatever the format is going to be. 

73, or should I say, 72.....?

Im pretty sure NO3M was sending his exchange in RTTY... sure sounded that
fast.
 
Congrats to TY on a super number. Congrats to N6RO on a super mult. Congrats to
all the NSers who joined in the fray tonite. It was wild !
