4U1ITU QSLs ALL QSOs VIA THE BUREAU.  DO NOT SEND CARDS TO K2KQ.

This started out with the intention to be a three operator M/2 and ended
up as a single op 3-band only effort. Not a big score, but a lot of fun.
Too bad 10 meters was dead on Sunday.
With the 40 meter antenna out of operation, no 160 antenna, only two ops
available and with security requirements confining you to the building
between 2200 and 0700 local, the only thing to do was a single-op on 10,
15 and 20. In all, I put in 20 hours.
Next time, we'll plan on four ops with enough time ahead to fix antenna
problems. Not much we can do about solar flares.

73, Don...4U1ITU/K2KQ
