It was a sucess contest for the VE6SV team.  The nighttime prop was not very
good
to us, we had some very slow times. We were all a little disappointed in 10
meters
as it did not meet our expectations for were we are or should be in this new
sunspot
cycle. Of course, a little disappointed in not breaking the Canadian M/S record
of
11.3M  Maybe next year !

We also agreed that we could have tried a little harder to run the prefix multi
total
to over 1000. Our packet spot, move multi operating skills need to be improved
for
the next event.

As a M/S effort it was a real battle to either keep the runs going when the
rate
dropped below 50Qs/Hr or make a band change for mults, this was our constant
20M - 15M operating battle.

On behalf of VE6SV Team, I would like to thank everyone who gave us a contact
in
the contest - it was very much appreciated and please keep us some time in
responding to your QSL card requests. BTW, the guest ops took QSL cards from
previous contest home to help get them out faster.
