Comments.
This was our first contest were the ironbolt was cool all the time!
Never
happend before. Murphy must have been engaged elsewhere.
Our start is allways critical but with 181 qso/hour, from 4 bands, the 
only noise comming from the antennarelays, everybody was working hard,
we all had
this very nice feeling, that's contestning!
Well, the rate dropped to more normal niveau during the next hours, but
it was
surely surprising to start without any troubles and a nice rate.
The first 1 million points came around 17Z Saturday, the next at app.
18Z Sunday.
We have only limited space for more alu in the air, so optimizing 
equipment/ operators is the keyword for the comming season. 

QSL is now working via the EDR bureau

CU AGN IN CQWW 97.

Thanks for all the QSO's and best 73 from The OZ5WQ Contest Team.
