      ===============================
    Totals   1872  1869    173    449 = 1,678,362

Equipment Description:  2 stations, each IC-775DSP/Alpha 76PA

Club Affiliation: Frankford Radio Club

Operators:  N3RD, N3RS, W3UM

Comments:  In general, a successful operation.  40 and 20, as usual, 
were the workhorse bands, with forays to 80 to troll for multipliers. 
15 remained a disappointment, with only a few hours of opening.  10 
meters was a surprise.  In last year's contest, we worked NO 
EUROPEANS on 10 meters.  Saturday we managed 18, while Sunday 
produced an opening that lasted about an hour, where we worked 
another 40 stations.  That ain't a lot, but it might indicate that 
we've turned the corner on the solar cycle.
