As previously mentioned I spent most of the weekend in the RSGB
Commonwealth contest (BERU) and hence had only about a couple of
hours in EQP. Managed 12 QSOs (10 different K1/K2) and activity was
fairly low here in Europe. All these were on CW with 5W from my K2.
Managed a scratchy QSO with Earl K6SE on 15m (called with no joy on
20m...). VE1RGB and W0SOC were my only other transatlantic QSOs, all
the rest being Europe. Log already submitted (didn't take me long
even without the software...)
As somebody who chases QRP countries it would have been nice to have
heard K2/100 to distinguish the high power ones (OK, I guessed that
Earl was QRO..).

That would have been W0SOC (K2 438) .......
In the Commonwealth contest I had lots of fun. Conditions were good,
and I worked quite a few VKs on 40, 20 and 15 and one ZL. Together
with several other nice ones (9J2, 9V1, 9M2) my all time K2 QRP total
is now at 173 and my 2003 total at 101. With conditions like this EQP
had to take second place!!
