Congrats Lenny! You did well. You didn't say which bands
you were on, but I suspect 20 meters was your main one.
Actually, 40 meters was more productive for me, but that was
probably more due to my choice of operating times. I worked
about 50+ there, but I was "fudging" the power a bit more
than you.
When you worked PZ5WW, you were very possibly working one of
our more famous QRPers--Hank, K8DD, who is one of our most
recent ARCI Hall of Fame additions. There were 3 other ops
along--Jay, W5JAY; Stan, AC8W; and Jim, KB8TXZ. They will
be operating through tomorrow I think, but using
individually assigned calls in addition to PZ5WW. Listen
for them if you have a chance.
Also, if you haven't worked VP6DX yet, check around for that
operation on Dulcie Island. They have great signals on just
about every band. As I write this email, they are booming
in on 40 CW.

Subject: [Elecraft] ARRL CW DX
70 Q's, 42 countries, 12 watts with K2 1520 and a 130 ft
cf zepp. Not exactly QRP, but with sunspots the way they
are I'm willing to stretch a point. One of the countries
was new for me: PZ5WW. Lots of band noise on all bands.
Coudn't break *any* pileups at all. When the sunspots were
up I could break 60-70% at 5-10 watts. Even so it was fun.
Did about 5 hours total.
73,
Lenny W2BVH
