During the 'test ???

I hadn't  really planned to do much in this event,  called one at the start, spent two minutes S&P with no result (can be difficult at the start with QRP), fell onto a clear frequency at 20:02 called CQ and thought 'what the heck, let's just stay here to the end and see what happens'. End result : 137 Qs QRP!

(thinks: 'what if' I'd been competitive and made use of the 2nd VFO?')

Just a fortunate chance frequency, and good conditions, not really the way to do things - but fun!
