Since getting back on the air in January 2013, I've become interested in operating contests and QSO parties. At first, I was curious to see how well I could do running QRP (5W). QRP works great on CW, but not so much on SSB. Now I run higher power in many contests, which makes a big difference in scores. But I still run QRP in CW contests that offer a QRP score multiplier, or for bragging rights.

I have participated in many contests and QSO parties since 2013, but to save space, the results below start with 2019 (unless I won an award in an earlier year.
Reviewing the logs, I discovered that I'd qualified for the DX Century Club.
