Comments:

Conditions were generally excellent, except that I missed the awesome 10 meter
opening from last year. That hurt since it's the only band I can run on SSB
with 5 watts. So no running this year (less than 1% of Q's). 

QSOs were down and multipliers were up, netting almost exactly the same claimed
score as in 2014. As always, I give my compliments to the many ops who spent far
too much time pulling me through. Modestly improved low band antennas also
helped.

I think I'm just about done with QRP SSB. It's too painful, for both me and
everyone I call. It can only get worse as the sunspot count declines.

Rig: KX3/DVR, 5 watts, N1MM+
10-20: Explorer 14 @15m
10-40: Inverted vees (N-S, E-W) @14m
80: Tower vertical with short radials
160: hah!
