Although there were some non QRS stations operating in the QRS Corral 
section above 3550 there seemed to be enough space up there for those 
were operating QRS. But as Chris says if there are plenty of QRQ 
stations you can work at a decent rate it is not worth the time 
working the slower ones. I see from my log there was a whole 5 
minutes gap in QSOs around 2100 when I spent time looking around 
there, waiting for stations to identify (to find I had worked them) 
and spending time in a long drawn out QSO.

I think the contest committee has been taken back by the immense 
success of these events, and by the same token some of the less 
skilled ops have maybe been put off by the pace of them. But we 
should encourage all to take part regardless - I have even been 
trying to get one of our G7 members who is trying to get up to HF CW 
speed just to have a listen (but not heard whether he actually did).

As for the QRP comments, no comment..
