    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!
