All tolled (told?), I worked 87 DXCC countries...the first time ever
that I did not break DXCC using QRP in a major DX contest...and I
missed by a lot!

Last year, I used the K2 (qrp version) and won.  This year I used the
K3 @ 5.0 watts output and, well, didn't win.  Of course, this year I
had 13 hours of off time due to sleep.  Ugh!

I am sorry to have not brought the K3 a major contest win this year.
