Comments:

Station:  K3/100 at 5W CW and 10W SSB per rules.  Force 12 C-3 at 64 feet. 
80/40 Fan Dipole at 50' E/W broadside.  WriteLog V12.03G, RBN, PacketCluster
and propagation tools used.

Saturday morning through mid-evening we had thunderstorms overhead, not a lot
or rain, very frequent lightning and high winds.  Was not able to operate until
after 0100Z.  Safety first.  With 10 hours operation I am hoping the score is
good enough!

I had decided to go QRP for this year, having won the Low Power Plaque 2-years
in a row.  With the decidedly poor conditions and reduced time that may turn
out to be a "poor" decision.  Most of the many mobiles heard me fine,
and big guns at home too.  I had not as good luck with the "average"
stations with the weak signal from my end.

20 Meters (77 QSO) was the workhorse with results on 80/40 about the same for
61 contacts.  80/40 were too long in the morning Sunday as was 20 for the most
part, later 20 improved, however, 40 meters was pretty useless until the last 2
hours of the contest ... normal skip just was not there for me.

I had fun, more work than planned and will be here next year - maybe not QRP.

Although there were spots on 160, 15, and 10 no signals were detected from GA.
