The contest was fun for me - even though it was alot of work to get the 
station ready and there were things that were not working right like
the voice keyer on the 6m rig was causing hum on the TX audio 
we also had some other problems but overall things went pretty well
for our first VHF contest from this location.

Ken WM5R did all of the 6m operating and did a great job on a band
was was very poor for us this year.

WM5R comments:

The start of the contest was promising, despite last-minute station
work.  Six meters was open on Eskip to the northeast, and things were going
well for a little while.  The opening kind of fizzled away inthe first hour,
and the band was dead for the rest of Saturday afternoon.  We had another,
better opening around 0200 that lasted a little over an hour.  It began
with QSOs into the Ohio/Indiana/Michigan area, but slowly crept westward
to Minnesota and the Dakotas where (unfortunately) there are fewer operators
and fewer QSOs to be made.  N0DQS/R was a great find - in a matter of minutes,
he worked us from three grids!  We had high hopes that the Eskip would
continue to move westward and give us some QSOs into W6, but the propagation
came to an end in Idaho.

  Six meters on Sunday was a grind all day long.  There were a few brief
periods of Eskip, but they were very weak, very short, and very isolated.
Almost all of the stations we heard during these opening were the loud,
big stations we had worked on Saturday.  We made two "brute-force" scatter
QSOs into New Mexico and Mississippi that I don't think were Eskip, but
might have been.  Otherwise, the bands were dead and CQs went unanswered.
