Comments:

Just out to see how many DXCC I can work in one weekend while QRP. 
Final total 102 unique DXCC entities.

Start of contest had 10m good for an hour, then 15m, while 20m was 
good until 03z when I stopped with 40 DXCC in the log. 

On my Saturday morning I started at sunrise 15z, and spent lots of 
time in pileups, but worked dozens of new ones. Lots of stations I 
called and called but couldn't work. Wow, crowded conditions. Since 
I was only looking for new countries, it was a joy to skip pileups 
for countries I no longer needed, By 17z I had lost 10m to Europe 
so I took a break, and then just worked on and off every couple 
hours. By end of Saturday I was at 87 DXCC in the log.

Sunday morning sunrise to the end of contest I kept plugging away 
looking for new countries. Lots of new ones I couldn't hear, and 
lots more who couldn't hear my QRP. New countries slowly rolled in,
slower and slower as the end approached. Last year was 116, this 
year was 102. No problem with the station that I could perceive, 
I guess conditions weren't quite as good. See you in Sweepstakes!
