We had a great time at W6YX (Stanford U) - WX5S @W6YX again this year.

The weather was great, not like last year, when we had rain and lots of rain
QSB on the beams making it a challenge to get good copy.

Rebar, N6CCH, formerly KI6CCH returned again this year from his intro last year
to anchor our team of seven operators with a 36 hour run, followed by a 5 hour
nap and then closed the contest with another 7 hours at the transceiver.  

Risto W6RK and Rebar N6CCH opened the contest on Friday afternoon, local time,
with a couple of misfires, as the wrong contest was loaded from the pre-event
setup earlier in the week.  This caused us to miss a few QSOs in the beginning
and hand out some strange exchanges.  Sorry if you were the recipient of one of
those.  Lesson learned and will not be replicated. This is good reason for the
practice sessions, as we would have recognized the issue sooner and made the
necessary change before the start of the contest, not during it.

Tom ND2T brought some much needed support during the open of 20m early Saturday
Morning, local time while we migrated off 80m and 40m and onto 20m and 15m. 
Dean N6DE and Matt WX5S provided operational assistance through the evening of
Saturday with Risto W6RK and Dave AA6XV following into the evening.  Mork K6UFO
helped us close out the contest on Sunday with AA6XV and N6CCH.  We ended the
contest with no Internet service and thus had to rely on traditional S&P
techniques for the last 17 hours of the event.

This year we were still unable to work many stations in EU, but did manage to
offset that with 19% of our contacts from Asia.  Our QSO count 2272 was up from
1692 our effort last year, mostly in part to having access to all the necessary
antenna and proper maintenance of the radios and amplifiers.  Prefixes worked
536 were up a bit as compared to our previous year count of 528.  We squeezed
in a few exchanges on 10m after agreeing to QSY with W6OAT to 10m.  Thanks
Rusty, we may not have picked those up had you not made that suggestion!! ï??


Thanks to all for the QSOs and spots.
