Comments:

My highest score ever, and only my second time to 
break 200 QSOs while QRP. Thank you for all the 
good ears out there!

Only one radio, since I have a head cold that makes 
two radios sound like four. I just resolved to work 
harder.

20m was a rocky start. I lost nearly every pileup, 
and was reminded why contests with Kilowatts crush 
the QRP caller. At 90 minutes I finally moved to 
40m for some real competition - everyone else had 
moved much earlier. Another 90 minutes on 40m and 
I was running out of new stations that could hear 
me on 40m, so I moved to "the QRP-grinder" of 80m.
So many lost pileups, so many people CQing in my 
face. The rate kept slowing and slowing... Luckily
the band took pity on me, and with three minutes to 
spare I broke 200 Q's. I worked an insurance contact, 
then laid my head on the table and exhaled. Done.
