Finished way behind the pack in m/2, but I think we did okay with 
the hardware available. Dipoles on 10/15 and very low antennas on 
80/160 just aren't going to complete very well. We had a lot of fun 
anyway, and that was pretty much the only goal. Good thing, eh?! 

With the current station configuration (different rooms, no 
computer networking,...), it was difficult for us to know anything 
about the other operator, so passing multipliers was almost out 
of the question. Had to vacate the house for much of the first 
hour while a real estate agent came through with clients, and 
that didn't help much either.

My station was stuck on a slow 40-mtr band in the last few hours, 
so I watched the movie Contact on the computer's DVD drive while 
CQing and IMing with a daughter away at college. Almost as much 
fun as SO2R!

Congratulations to N2IC, N2NL, W4AN, K5KA, and N5TJ on some 
amazing scores.
