Comments:
Our first try at an ARRL M/S. Although the rules are quite restrictive compared 
to CQ M/S, it was great fun. Equipment was stable through the weekend [nice 
feeling]. Always a pleasure to have favorable band conditions from 160-10m. 
Looks like we had lower rates than possible on Sunday morning. I suspect we had 
some op fatigue. NR1DX could only stay through the first 30 hours, so we had 
2.5 ops. One more op would have been helpful. Any volunteers for next year?

Congratulations:
1.  To the winners, of course.
2.  To the non-CW ops who gave it their all - we appreciate your extra effort.
3.  To everyone who did something to encourage new ops to join in the fun.
4.  To the rare DX stations who hung in there and found order in the chaos.

73,

Jim K1IR
