[Elecraft] CY0MM the hard way

[Benjy Cline AC4XO]

Hi,

It was fun to hear of Tim's (NZ7C) success working CY0MM.   I found
myself in a 17M CW pileup for CY0MM on Monday with the K2 running
at 100 watts.  I wasn't having much luck in the pileup, and I didn't
need the contact for DXCC.  Then it occurred to me that I could use
a QRP contact for DXCC QRP.  So, I cranked the power down to
5 watts and made the contact in a few minutes.

I tell this story to my QRO friends as evidence that running QRP
is the way to break pileups.  I forget to mention that I finally zeroed
in on where the DX op was listening in the 10 KHz. range :-)
