 Comments: Alot more activity again this year and better bands too (at least
 40/80m)!  Could have used more people on the higher bands.
 Worked hard on the wire antennas the week before OQP, with an 80m dipole
 and 160m Inverted-L added to the collection.  And, thank goodness I put up
 a 40m dipole on Saturday morning.  All played better than the vertical for
 the close contacts!
 Next year...retain the mults as is (one per band), but how about points at
 least for both CW and an SSB contact?  Might
 lead to even more activity, and certainly more "mixed" incentive.
 I'll be interested to see any "CW only logs" - must have been a test of
 will?
 Had a great time!

      I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations for
 amateur radio  in my country.  My report  is correct and true to the best
 of my knowledge.  I agree  to be bound by  the decisions of the contest
 committee.
