Comments:
Actually the crew was about 3.5 operators. KB1H had commitments both days so
operated around those. The statistics
did show that KB1H made entries for a total of 18 hours which is the most in
recent history! Unfortunately the hours were not when they
would have increase the score a bunch."Iron Pants" goes to NR1X who
made almost 1800 QSOs. Next was NB1U with almost 1400 and then K1EBY
with about 1200. One more operator would have been a big boost. Overnights were
usually only one operator and daytime suffered at times
as well. Speaking for myself, age is starting to require a little more sleep!
Just before the contest all rotors were not turnimg due to icing over of the
rotors. K1EBY had been here since Wednesday night at midnight
so he kept trying to turn things and check SWRs. By the start the antennas were
turning and the SWRs weere usable but not great. I can not
remember a contest where it has not snowed! Maybe IARU in July. As NB1U says,
if it's contest time at KB1H it's snowing! Using a wood
stove for heat in the barn was aalmost a full time job in itself. Thanks to
N1WK for filling the tractor bucket a few times.
Some great scores by other M/2 stations, congrads to those and also many thanks
for the QSOs.
