Comments:

It's tough to justify staying awake to work only 2 or 3 per hour, so I took lots
of sleep.  

About 50 less Q's than last year, but about 40 more mults...so a bigger score
(happy surprise!).

Only worked 1 JA (on 20m), a rare occurrence for this QTH.  I usually work
lots.

I love CQWW CW.  It allows one to take advantage of "good timing" and
dump in your callsign at fast speed and/or a little "off" frequency
when others have stopped calling (but no reply yet) and be copied "in the
clear."  Lots of folks are enamored with using power to PUSH their way
through (and many are successful at that).  They can't understand how QRPers do
it.  It's called finesse! Remember, nobody looks at their S meter to figure out
who they will reply to.  

Unusual this year (for me), only one guy asked if I was QRP.  There are usually
many more.

RIG: Elecraft K3/10 

Tower 1: Optibeam OB16-3 at 55 feet (my "south" antenna, meaning
"southern hemisphere").  It does rotate (Yaesu 2800)

Tower 2: SteppIR DB36 at 73 feet (M2 Orion 2800)

(Guess there is something special about the number "2800" LOL)

Wires on 80 and 160

N1MM+ (duh)

And my favorite (rare) cw paddle: HAL FYO

I hope everyone enjoyed the contest.  CQWW:  THE contest!!
