Comments:

I decided  to try QRP to see what is possible. The propagation was very
beneficial for QRP due to Es layer  which makes high bands open with strong  Eu 
signals. Part time  (16 h) participation. The location is a deep valley
surrounded by hills , semi-rural . East and West directions are closed at least
to 20 degrees elevation.  Very few DX outside Europe were made  - to mention
KC1XX ,WW1X,KM1W  on 80 m band – great ears! Tried to call CQ several times
but it was useless.  In this propagation and with this setup,  with a full time
(36 h) participation ,  1000 QSO are possible.   Two or 3 contacts were made
with full power due to errors in manipulations after band change but I  do not
think this will make any difference in the  winners list  :-)

Setup  was  minimally  possible:
Ant:  Dipole 2 x 14 m as inverted V for all bands,   4 m above the house roof
(12 m total height) with open wire feeder.  Separate RX wideband phased array
with small magnetic loops used on all bands which proved to be extremely useful.

Rig:  External automatic antenna tuner and  Icom756pro  at 5W synchronized with
Perseus SDR using a special switch box in order to use  the same inverted V as 
RX antenna .  Practically the Icom rig was used only as a transmitter.
