Lloyd:

You think  like me in some ways here.

Even though I now have my new ALS600, I believe I'm going  to still enjoy
the fun of doing CW contests with only 100 watts.

This is what I did when I had my AL811H, and seemed to do ok.

I'm hoping that I don't get into RFI issues with my nearby neighbors,
whenever I get an antenna up here at the new camp site, but if I do, some
QRP operation may be in my future as well out here, and that may not be all
bad.

I was on for nearly 5 hours, running QRP. This was my first contest in the
QRP power category, and I didn't have time to make it a serious entry. But
with 5 watts I worked DX such as Japan, Argentina, New Zealand, and Oman. 
After dupes are removed, 152 QSOs, 139 prefixes and 53,793 points.I may have
to try this again; it's fun seeing how many stations can copy your 5 watts
of CW. I doubt I will try QRP in an SSB contest, though.

296 contacts, 240 prefixes, 167,520 points.

I heard someone work W3IUU last night, but Lloyd was in hunt and pounce mode
like me, so we missed each other.
