Once again the FUN meter was bouncing against the far peg...WOW, talk 
aboutbetter than expected conditions. After having a great time operating as 
aMulti-Single in CQWW, we decided to do it again. Everyone pitched in and set 
upthe station much the same as the last time plus adding an 80m sloper to EU. 
Notknowing what to expect on 10m, we wanted to improve the station numbers on 
80m& 40m.   The team included local Coastal Amateur Radio Society club members, 
Kevin,KB4W, Paul, KC2NYU, Lowell, NY4D, Bob, N5GNA, Bill, K4WP, Chuck, N4KKD 
andJere, KT4ZB, The weekend was virtually all Search and Pounce and it shows 
inthe QSO count.   Lowell, Bob and Kevin gave up sleep time to keep the 
stationgoing in the wee hours of the night concentrating on clearing the 
bandmaps for160m, 80m and 40m. Their hard work showed up in what are the 
highest countrycounts ever for the station on 80m and 40m. Daytime hours were 
spent chasing DXwith Paul having the best hour rate and Kevin the best 10 
minute rate. Our lastcontact was a much needed mult, 5J0P..    All had fun 
chasing the DX - 5J, 6W, A65, A71, A93, KH2, GJ, J38, J62, JA (6on 40m), HB0, 
HZ, T32, TC3 VP8/H & UA2 were nice additions to the total.Also, thanks to 
6Y6LZ, CR2X, P40L, TI5M & TI5W for hearing us on all 6bands. Chuck took honors 
for best DX with LU1ZI, Antartica.   We beat our goal of 1,100 QSOs and 320 
countries by a bunch, thanks to oleyeller in the sky and the ops hard work. The 
station played well except for aknown sluggish rotor and N1MM+ was rock solid. 
That and having an All Star teammade for a memorable weekend.   Thanks to the 
ARRL Contest committee for sponsoring this great contest andto all the folks 
around the world whose contacts filled our log. cu in WPX - JereFT1000MP Field
