[3830] N3RS M/M CQWW SSB Score

[R. Sigismonti]

The conditions at the start were good, but got to be rather poor by 
Saturday afternoon.  Our score is down about 12% from last year.  I 
want to thank our op's for a good effort at this mini multi station. 
This years crew included N3RD, N3ED, N3AD, N2SR, N3ZS, K3WU & N3RS. 
We were unable to use our main 80M antenna due to high winds causing 
the loading wires to short out intermittently, generating lots of 
noise on the other bands and very high VSWR on the feedline. 
Everything else seemed to work OK.  Guess we are getting a little 
long in the tooth for this stuff.  Three of us had bad back problems 
limiting our "In the chair" time.  The following is the un-merged 
breakdown from the 4 computers we used:

           BAND   QSO's   Zones   Countries
             160            52             13                24
              75           166             21                77
              40           531             32               108
              20          1162             39               151
              15          1964             40               160
              10          1646             36               164

We hope to do better in our more natural mode (CW)!
