Comments:

Another effort in getting accustomed to the new KX3  and to N1MM (also 
rather new
to me). This was much easier than my phone SS  QRP effort with a 12 foot 
high
dipole in WCF. Still, the limits become pretty  clear. Best DX was K0RF or 
KO7X.
Got a couple of ?'s from N9RV and N2IC, but  no qsos. The list of people 
who did
not hear me at all is, of course, very  long.

Still, I was able to do some running (I'd guess 25% of my qsos were  such), 
and
on a couple of occasions actually beat out somebody when  calling.

Life is still to short for QRP, but there are times when QRP is  better than
NoRP. That's what I'm preparing for.
