Comments:

Good start on 20m despite high A index.

After first hour everyone moved to 40m, and 
40m was a brick wall for QRP from this far west 
for another hour. Finally I could make some 
progress with west of the Mississippi, but not 
the East. I had to take a couple breaks when 
someone remoted in and used the antennas. I had 
forgotten to disable the remote.  

Around 0230z, 40m became really noisy. Tough slogging.
I carried on because I dreaded going to 80m while QRP.

Last hour I sucked it up and went to 80m QRP. As 
long as I only tuned for the strong signals I had a 
chance. Half the time the strong signal was leaving 
the freq.  Time flies when you just call and call, 
and before long we were done.
