[K3PZN-List] QRP SS Class

[James Nitzberg]

Hi Curt & Group;

There are some downright impressive scores generated
in Sweepstakes in the QRP CW class.  

You won't find me running QRP as I intend to maximize
my club score - however it is a fun category for some.

K3PZN has an awesome SS station...love that new
triband beam.  It rocks on 20m.

73,
