Comments:

We are pleased by our results this year from our hotel roof in downtown
Ouagadougou.  We apologize to those we could not pick out of the noise on
80/160.  We battle tremendous QRN from the equatorial region every year.  It
makes hearing extremely tough.  We tried numerous antennas this year, including
a short beverage down an alley way, a K9AY loop, and a magnetic loop along with
the TX antennas.

All in all it was a very smoothe operation with only one glitch during the
contest.  The current balun on the 160m sloper burned up on the 2nd night but it
was quickly replaced.

A couple of the team members battled a stomach ailment before the contest but
recovered in time.  We made over 5,000 QSO's outside of the contest and an
additional 1,000 plus QSO's on 6 meters using XT2WP.
