Comments:

Simple goal: Work 100 countries QRP. 

First three hours got me 35 countries. I didn't venture 
onto the low bands. 

The first morning I got many of the European countries, 
but only 20m. 15m barely opened to Europe, and 10m never 
opened to Europe here. The rest of day was South America, 
followed by Pacific. At my sunset I had reached 105 
countries.  The A index (already high) was rising, so 
again I skipped the low bands.

Sunday morning had much worse conditions. I could barely 
raise a European on 20m, and only a whisper heard on 15m.
So, I took it easy, just checking now and then for 
anything new and loud enough to be QRP-workable.

I heard at least another dozen countries that I just 
couldn't work QRP. There were spots for another two 
dozen countries that I couldn't hear.

Final total: 119 unique DXCC countries while QRP!
