A great contest as usual ! The team had a good mix of new and old
contesters and fun was made number one. We lost our mult stn amp
so working mults barefoot was not for the weak of heart, breath and
voice. Hindsight reveals we made some not so great running band choices
but all in all it was a decent showing. Our other goal of logging accuracy,
as team was also meet. We spent a great amount of time checking with the
worked contact that they got our callsign right. Hopefully, this will be
proved out in our UBN report. We also noted "many" packetcluster spots
that were broken calls.

We also had some rotor problems, it sure would be nice to have "fixed
mounted" yagis for the major directions, all selectable from a simple rotary
switch.

I would like to thank the guest ops, it is them, take make it all come
together
and the major force in making this station VE6SV the success it is, even
if it is relatively small to rest of the world. !
