Comments:
Hey! Its the bottom of the sunspot cycle, you what would be a fun thing to
do? That's right, run a DX contest QRP!

OK, I planned an all band effort, but a mistake on my part forced me to
change it into a single band effort. At least it wasn't 10m. Or 160m
(that's next weekend). So, 20m, 5W and a 2-element beam. That meant I had
time to do some other stuff during the weekend (+). It also meant I got a
lot of being beat out in pileups (who did I think I was kidding?) (-). Call
recognition can help sometimes. K4QPL at VP5M pulled my (familiar) call out
of a pretty ugly pileup in about 2-3 calls (+). Its nice when your friends
recognize you, also a testament to Jim's ears. I did work all continents
(+) I heard a LOT of good DX I could not work (-)

Enough of this QRP stuff. Let's turn on the amps and listen to static
crashes next weekend.
