Claimed score = 4,536 points.
The only notable thing about this weekend was that over 5% of our QSOs were
on CW, which is a first, I think. Unfortunately, at least two QSOs we
could have worked on CW were impossible because the rover in question
didn't do code. Otherwise, conditions were very flat. I felt like I
was in an RF pit all weekend. Five of the closest grids to us accounted for
82% of all QSOs. Saturday night was _very_ noisy, even for U.T. On Sunday,
I was only able to find one new contact over a seven hour period. We also
lost use of our 2M preamp, as the relay for it kept chattering and I was
afraid I'd blow it out - hopefully we can fix it before the next contest.
It's a contest like this that makes me wonder why I'm not out doing a
bicycle rover effort or something!
