Comments:

Last year I set the low power record and I just didn't feel like trying to beat
it.  I had operated QRP in 2010 and figured it was about time to do it again. 
Also I now have two Elecraft radios and they are easy to set to 5 watts, unlike
the FT-1000mp I had last time.

My goal was to break the Massachusetts record I set in 2010.  I didn't think it
was possible to break the overall QRP record.  Apparently I was wrong.  My score
was slightly above the Mass record when I went to bed.  Rates were low for a lot
of Sunday but adequate.  I spent a lot of time calling CQ on one radio and
tuning on the other.  With five watts there's not much interstation
interference.

Calling DX stations with 5 watts can be frustrating but I did manage to work a
few good multipliers.  I missed MS and ND and six Canadian provinces and
territories.

Thanks to everyone who put up with my weak signal.
