Comments:

I worked DXCC QRP the two previous years, so this year 
I tried it QRP Single-Band 15m. Yes, also Assisted. 
Couldn't quite make it.

First two hours brought me 20 countries mostly Pacific, 
then 15m was dead. Saturday morning brought Europeans so 
by local noon 19z I had 60 countries. Then it was slow 
work of new Caribb and South America. By local Sunset 01z 
I had 80 countries. A few additional in the Pacific 
finished the evening. 

Sunday morning brought Europeans again, but only a few 
new countries workable. By 18z I was at 87 countries and 
nothing more that could hear me... I kept checking every 
hour, but propagation never came up enough for me to work 
the remaining dozen new ones while QRP. I could hear them, 
but they couldn't hear me in the pileups QRM or their noise 
level.

I took the time to troubleshoot some computer problems,
check the spots and listen now and then, but nothing new.

So I couldn't make DXCC QRP while Single-band 15m. Maybe 
next time...
