And I thought the bands were bad last year! This year I decided not to operate QRP, and ran in the low power category from Oakland County. My score is dismal, but probably no worse than anyone else's, hi. I ended up with 316 Qs, 76 Mults, for a raw score of 46,968. This sets a new personal record in the hard work for little return category, hi. 73 de N8NM
