Comments:

Wow, operating SSB contest QRP should be brought before the International War
Crimes court for "cruel and unusual punishment." :)   This is especially true
for the first day of the contest.

15 turned out to be the best band, on Sunday afternoon.  First hit my goal of
50, then decided to try for 75, things were going so well I tried for 100, with
10 extras because I'm almost sure I screwed up the log in a couple places
because I manually didn't change the band (Remind me to figure a way to hook up
my Ancient boat anchor to my computer. It doesn't have serial frequency
output.)

Anyway, for what it's worth, it turned out to be an "interesting exercise."  I
congratulate the several DX stations ops who "stuck with" my pipsquoke signal
and pulled me through the QRN/QRM!  As some of my contesting friends say, when
running QRP it's not a matter of the QRP station's operating skill, it's a
matter of the excellent receiving skill on the other end!
