Comments:

Thanks to Bill for letting us use the station.  The station took a lightning hit
right after ARRL SSB so we're still discovering what got fried and what didn't.

Only did 31.5 hours due to not being completely prepared.  I have a big week at
work this next week so slept 8 full hours Saturday night.  Wonder what was
possible with a full effort...  

Marshall K5QE logged a number of good quality hours and was indispensible in
the effort.  I get fed up with all of the QRM & needing fills too easily. 
Baleigh KE5VKZ (N5YA's granddaughter) worked 30-40 stations on 40m Saturday
night while I logged.  Her operation in prior FDs has obviously paid off and
she is a quick learner.

I THINK this score is correct.  We logged the entire contest on my MacBook
laptop because all of the computers were fried.  The logging program logged all
U.S. stations as 2-points so had a to figure out the 'actual' score... 


160m - New vertical is loud but band was very noisy the first night.  Good to
work CN2AA & YV1KK.

80m - Dipole at 30ft cut for CW.  Worked the local guys and a couple of the
loudest EU with 100w.  Didn't spend much time there.

40m - 2 ele yagis fixed NE & NW.  Didn't hear a lot of EU or JA but worked
a ton of stateside.  Was pretty easy to find a spot and signals were decent.

20m - Complete madhouse as expected.  Antennas are OB-16 and a 5 ele
monobander.  Hard to hear DX through all of the QRM.

15m - Good openings both days.  Worked EU until 22:00z on Sunday.  Didn't work
a lot of JA; under 100.  Nice to work 3 VU stations, all with good signals.

10m - Worked 1 EU (EB5BBM) via skew path who was fairly loud.  Heard 3-4 others
but they were S&P.  Bands of course good to SA.  Not much stateside except
for backscatter.

73 to all & see you in the next one.
