[PPRAANet] Fwd: ARRLDX SSB W0RO SOAB LP

[Dan Scott]

My intent was to work a little of this contest while I was working on 
one of the computers, but then 10 and 15 were wide open.  I mistakenly 
made a lot of contacts on 10-meters using QRP, so that band was still 
set for operating the Thursday evening net.  It took a while to figure 
out why some of the South America station were not coming back.  If 
stations had complimented my nice signal I might have discovered the QRP 
setting earlier... a 10-meter opening is sooooo nice :-)

There following is my score.  It is interesting to compare my score the 
Dick's (W0RAA) as I had more contacts but less multipliers.

Comments:

It was fun having 10 and 15 open for a change.  I missed a lot of the good
openings due to other commitments.  40 was very noisy with a high noise floor
added to the crowded conditions, so I ended up working it a little during off
peak times.
