    Comments:

    We had a great time.  Conditions were not as good as we hoped for,
    but at least they were a lot better than last year.  Lost 2 amps on Sunday
    but were able to work around the problem for the most part.  No EU on
    160m and things were real slow on 20m all weekend.  Sure glad 10m and 15m
    were open all day to offset 20m slack some.

    Congratulations to all the winners. We pushed about as hard as we can, but
    just can't overcome the EU advantage the folks to the east of us have.  
    First full contest effort from the recently completed K5MR station.  
    Everything seemed to work as designed; just need better conditions to go 
    with the hardware!

    73,

    Steve, K5MR & crew
