> Everyone had lots of fun and that is what is most
> important. We had a great
> team.
>
> Very few problems despite having prototype keying
> multiplexers and lockouts for
> the multiplier station that were plugged in just minutes
> before the contest.
> With a few changes the microprocessor controlled lockouts
> and keying delay
> system will be perfect.
>
> Deeply regretted not having the new K3 that has been on
> order, but I hope to
> have one or two before next year's contest. A stereo main
> receiver that is CAT
> controlled is a must for next year even if we have to
> build our own.

> Thanks to all the DX stations who were patient and kept
> trying to get
> through the very heavy QRM. Many times, despite being on a
> run frequency for
> hours, stateside stations would appear. This often
> happened during runs of
> Europeans because if we listened for more than 20 seconds
> someone local would
> start to CQ.
