Comments:

Using QRP means you are at least 25 dB down from the high power guys. 
Still, most everyone stuck with it and pulled me through for the QSO. 
Pile up management with such a weak signal takes special care (at both
ends).  Operated from PZ5RA's QTH in Paramaribo. Ramon & Erni are
absolutely fantastic hosts. You couldn't ask for better. 

Had planned for full 48 hour operation, and was feeling good, when at
26 hours into it I noticed one of my feet was swollen excessively.  So
thought best to be safe than sorry. Tough call. 

73, Alan K0AV
