Comments:

This was a pleasant exercise in minimalist contesting. I operated QRP from a
waterfront park bench on Bird Key in Sarasota, using a KX3, hand mike, an MFJ
whip wedged into a sea wall, and logging on paper. I got myself and the entire
station there via bicycle. 

As always, a lot of very copyable people could not hear my QRP signal, but the
loud ones did. I had one respectable run on 15 when I tuned across a YL op
telling her pileup she had to QRT, and apologizing for not being able to work
everybody who was calling. So I jumped in and started CQing, logging about 20
QSOs before things dried up.

I would have liked to spent a bit longer, but had to QRT to get home before
dark. All in all, a very nice way to spend a sunny, 70F afternoon as a Florida
snowbird.
