Congrats on the great CW effort, Steve!
I'm not sure, but I think you made the most contacts of anyone who has
reported so far.
I'm now looking forward to Field Day. If I can do FD from out here at the
RV, I think I will stick mainly to CW.

Sounds like everyone had fun this weekend. I put 340 in the log, with
258 mults and score of 233K. Worked a few on 160, but all within 500
miles. Was surprised how many Europeans came back to me on80 meters
Saturday night.
One of these days I'm going to get over this CW phobia. I have big plans
for each CW contest, but always get some cold feet on Friday night. I end
up just piddling around until sometime Saturday night,
then really get into it. Turns out I always have fun. If I could
just hit it hard from the get - go, I could do a lot better.
Good job on the QRP Lloyd. I know it can be challenging, but also fun.
I usually run FD home from a battery QRP. Last year I worked
Finland, which was pretty cool. Maybe do the same for FD this year.
73, Steve KW3A
