I had a very little dabble in the QRP section of the Stew Perry 
challenge (and thanks for the points Nigel). Those who worked me 
would get double points for the QSO after my log was submitted.

Although no RST is required most people did send it. However the 
contest robot does need two columns of RSTs in the Cabrillo log you 
submit. The updated version of Super Duper did not do this and the 
robot threw my log out the first time until I edited them in. 
Confusion reigns!

An enjoyable contest - 36 QSOs giving 292 points (x4 QRP multiplier!) 
and best dx 2177km (but I was QRP!).

This weekend I had a look in at the top band EUCW contest - but 
having to send '599 dave gqrp 11029' was a bit of a mouthful to 
expect people to pull out of the noise!
