Comments:

This was the contest of the QRP'ers. I salute all the 3 watt and 5 watt stations
who made it in my log.  Top prize goes to G3OND who reported a power of
"R15" which meant 150 milliwatts!

Good weather in early December helped me finally get a small 2 element quad at
65'.  Unfortunately the 15 meter portion quickly developed problems.  My
solution was to use my 20 meter 4 square on 15.  Coupled with the poor
conditions I struggled on the band. The good news was that February weather was
decent enough for me to put up an inverted L for 160 with 2 elevated radials.
That one worked well!

Thanks for all the contacts!
