The students in the club had great time with this. Thy CQed 95% of the
time and had some pretty good DX call in, TU, TZ a number of 8P6s and
had a short run of JAs on 10. VK and P29 called in long path on 20. 80%
of the Qs were made on 20, the DEZs really proved themselves, the other
20% were split between 10 and 40 with a couple on 80 and 15. The antenna
just didn't seem to work very well on 15 (AO indicated that it wouldn't
be too hot on that band either). The students had fun asking the KL7s if
their tires went "thump thump thump" in the -40 WX, asked the VKs if
they had Kangaroos in their backyards and asked N5TW/Areonatical Mobile
over SD if he knew where he was!
Many thanks to everyone that called in and gave some of these budding
contesters a Q.
