Team Members:  VA6LG (exUN7LG), VE6NAP, VE6LDX, VE6SK, VE6SV

We had a late start to the contest but overall we had a great time. We 
welcome Paul
UN7LG (now VA6LG) to our team, the Edmonton area and Canada ! Paul and his
family have just immigrated to Canada as of September 2000. Paul was a very 
active
contester in his native country  of Kazakhstan. He is the current all time 
CQWW DX
CW record holder for Zone 19.

Neil VE6SK (aka VE6NRJ) the VE6 Incoming QSL Bureau manager joined us for the
first time, maybe we got ourselves a new team member! And Heinz VE6LDX returns
as part of operating crew after a "number" of missed years ,welcome back 
Heinz.

And of course my main technical guy (chief technical guy, antenna ground 
leader and
Sierra Victor web master), Gerry VE6NAP ,he is even starting to "like" cw 
and operating
in general. I have to really express my appreciation to Gerry for the great 
amount of
time and support he has contributed to the VE6SV contest station.

With 75% of the team being new to the station details, the first couple of 
hours was a
steep learning curve to the station setup, logging software and me! The 
only major
strategy operating mistake, was we kind of let the multiplier hunting and 
band moving
slip. The station was been designed and optimized for multi-single 
competition style
of operating. So, having HF three KW stations going (two full time and the 
third part
time) and the two VHF stations (2m and 6M) was a real big change.

I also had a sense of VE active down for previous years, but on the other 
had the DX
folks sure had a handle to what was the proper QSO exchange. In conclusion 
we had
a great time and no hardware failures. The contest logging software was CT 
9.54v
using an ethernet network.
