20M was fine from NM this evening....worked OA4SJ V63MB YJ8M ZL1DYC and
then to top it off I heard a ZL working 7X4AN on LP (from ZL). I didn't
hear 7X4 becuz I was pointed at ZL. Turned the antenna 180 degrees and
there he was, weak but readable. I dumped my call and he came back, swapped
reports and had Algeria in the log. Slick! 

I operated QRO for several years, but it never gave me the rush that
working the 7X4 with QRP did. 

It would be real easy to do a WAC (QRP) on 20M tonight. The QSO's were from
0400 to 0500Z and the band is still very open at 0600Z.

Rig used tonight was K2 #2223 at 5W into a 4 ele mono band yagi at 70'.
