Hi Jim,

I can imagine the frustration!  Even at the bottom of the sunspot cycle, 
we still get some prop - in fact the 10M Contest was quite good from 
SFL.  Not surprised that AK was one of only four states that I missed.. 
Like you, I seldom run QRP lately, and have not bothered with the last 
couple of ARCI contests.  I just don't have that kind of patience. 
Guess if you and are to make another QRP QSO, we'll have to hang in 
there a few more years.  Coming up on 77 years old here!
