Comments:

If anyone had told me a week ago I could have this much fun running QRP from
Alaska, I'd have said they were nuts.  I started at 5 watts just to test the
waters, thinking I would soon grow frustrated and go with a LP entry. 
Encouraged by the initial results, I stuck it out at QRP.  NL7YL's CW QRP AK
record has stood since 1991, and I crushed it.  Another KL QRP might beat me
this year, but the basic score was very gratifying. I could work just about
everyone I could hear.  I even had some brief runs.  Conditions were far from
spectacular, especially lacking EU.  Laboring under some disadvantage with
tri-banders no longer horizontal after a month of back-to-back ice and wind
storms, it's good to know the station still has some competitive standing.  The
QSO count exceeds my lifetime QRP achievement by two orders of magnitude.  I
can't complain about that.  Thanks to all.
