1998 was the second time we did it.
The intresting thing to me about this is that I think
the opening in 1996 was much better than it was in 1998 but
by 1998 there were more people on the band.
It is also interesting to look at the grid totals over the years:
year QSO grids
1996 1160 267
1998 1358 245
2000 1104 260

I think that 2000 contacts is possbile if we get anohter really
good year like 1987 or maybe even in a year like 1996.
