Thanks to John, W6LD, for putting up some new lowband antennas.  With these and 
other last-minute preparations we started 7 minutes late on one station and 20 
minutes late on the other.  We did not seem to have a good antenna for 20 
meters and were consistently beaten in pileups by our tribander-wielding local 
brethren.  I'm sure we'll get our 205CA onto a low pole by next year to remedy 
this.

This was our first effort in NAQP CW as a multi-2, so it was also a learning 
experience.  Our biggest mistakes: starting late, not having a 3rd operator to 
do spotting, not figuring out how to make 20 meters work for us, and not 
passing mults between stations.  Note for next year: fix all of the above.

-Mike, N7MH
