===============================
Totals 1872 1869 173 449 = 1,678,362
Equipment Description: 2 stations, each IC-775DSP/Alpha 76PA
Club Affiliation: Frankford Radio Club
Operators: N3RD, N3RS, W3UM
Comments: In general, a successful operation. 40 and 20, as usual,
were the workhorse bands, with forays to 80 to troll for multipliers.
15 remained a disappointment, with only a few hours of opening. 10
meters was a surprise. In last year's contest, we worked NO
EUROPEANS on 10 meters. Saturday we managed 18, while Sunday
produced an opening that lasted about an hour, where we worked
another 40 stations. That ain't a lot, but it might indicate that
we've turned the corner on the solar cycle.
