The non-contest isn't over, but I've had about as much QRP fun as I can
take right now.

A lot of QRN which is never good for QRP and I wasn't getting very good
reports on RBN. Not easy to run at 7 db or so. Longer distances seemed
better where I wasn't relying on scatter or short skip. West and PAC
were usually pretty easy.
Had to ask myself, "WWWD?" (What Would Will Do?).
WT3K said my problem was I forgot to add "/QRP" on to my CQ message! Right!
Bring on the real contests....
