A Quick 10m Update

This brings my 10m QRP country total to 41.

Breaking through the pile-up intoto Senegal on the 1st was no problem at all with 10 watts and my half wave wire dipole at only six feet above the ground. It took just one call.  However, trying to break through today's pile-up into Saudi Arabia was a different matter. I gave up after several dozen calls. To be fair, HZ1TT was reporting signals around 5/9+20dB from many callers, so I would have been buried. Some you win, some you lose!
