Sorry for the delay in posting this score, I had to catch
a plane for the left coast early on Monday morning and the
eight computers sat in my garage awaiting my return...

Final score:  26,226 points

PVRC's operation was from Tolchester Beach on the Upper Eastern 
Shore of Maryland.  The QTH is a 35 foot bluff overlooking
ten miles of salt water, due west over the Chesapeake Bay.  The
line-of-sight is entirely over salt water for ten miles from an
azimuth of approximately 200 degrees thru 25 degrees.  Our 
Field Day operation was spread out over approximately 700
feet, just back from the face of the bluff.

We used nine 50 foot AB-577 "rocket launcher" masts located just 
30 feet from the edge of the bluff.

The 8 HF stations (including novice) consisted of five FT-1000MPs, 
two FT-1000Ds, and one TS-950SD.

We used dipoles on 160, 80 and 40M, 
a Cushcraft 402CD Yagis for 40 CW and another one on 40 SSB, 
a 3 element monoband Yagi for 20 CW and another one for 20 SSB,
a 3 element monoband Yagi for 15 CW and another one for 15 SSB,
a 3 element monoband Yagi for 10 meters and another for the Novice,
a 5 element monoband Yagi for 6 meters,
and somewhat larger Yagis for 2M, 222 MHz and 432 MHz.

Who says Field Day is not a contest??

73!
