Comments:

First of  all...a BIG thanks to all you who take the time to work with us 
QRPers
when  our signals just aren't quite "there."  It is sincerely appreciated.  
 I've
enjoyed the QRP approach to this contest the last 4 years now but have  to
admit...I just might be about ready to go back to QRO.  We'll see  next year
(probably on the day before the contest as I never seem to know  what I'm 
going
to do until then). This year I really didn't even know if I  was going to be
able to do much at all as I have most of my wire antennas  laying in the
branches of trees as ropes have been breaking right and left  and I haven't 
had
the time to get out there and work on them.   Fortunately, this contest 
seems to
like the low antennas! :)

My score  is up very slightly from last year but my Qs are slightly down  
(less
operating time).  My operating time was a couple hours less then  last year 
so I
guess it really was a pretty solid "gain" for me all in  all.  Thrilled to 
get
the sweep for the first time in with QRP.   Last sections were BC and Rhode
Island.  Finally located BC when I went  trolling on 20m rather late after
having already moved to 80m.  I think  many of us were pleasantly surprised 
to
find that opening.

Thanks  again to all.  It was fun and great to be able to say "hi" to many  
of
you.  Happy Thanksgiving!

73,
