I wasn't really in a contesting mood this weekend, and never really got going till Saturday evening, and then only put in about 4.5 hours or so. However those meager hours did give me my first new overall entity worked in almost 2 years when I snagged 5Z4/9A3A on 20M fairly easily Sunday afternoon. That makes 205 entities now with my QRP and very simple wire antennas. One other interesting happening was working 5 continents in 5 consecutive QSO's. I never did work nor even hear an Asian station in the contest. I also was working on completing our North American QRP CW Club's February Challenge using just calls from the DX test, but I came up a couple letters short. See the NAQCC web site or my web site if you wonder what I'm talking about. Thanks to those who helped me get my 81 QSO's with their good 'ears.' Maybe next year I'll put in a more serious effort. Possibly the high bands will be better then, but I won't hold my breath. -- K3WWP
