[3830] CQ WW CW VP5GN SOAB HP (short version)

[David & Amy McCarty]

Sorry for late report.  Been overly busy since returning. Longer 
story follows in second email.

I was NOT VP5DX.  That's another group, another island.  Have not
heard their score, would be interested to know, tho.

Well, you learn a lot every time out.  Lots more to learn!
Score up over last year, but not as far up as I wanted.

Worked 40 zones, but not nearly that on any band.
Lots of cool DX out there!  Really pleased with people's 
willing response to being asked to move.  I guess the presence 
of the VP5DX multi-op kept demand for VP5 down -- I didn't get 
asked to move very often.

Thanks to everyone who did move with me -- you helped me
achieve a much better multiplier than last year.

Thanks also to my friends who helped make this a great trip, 
especially N5DM, W5KU, and others in Houston, the Tango's in
Atlanta, and Jody and her friends on Provo.

It was a great holiday!  Came back to high pressure at work
and a number of deadlines at home and at work.  So only 
now slowing down to get the logs done.  Statistics follow.

Hope to work you all again next year (and more besides)!
