Comments:

The new Multi-Two category is a lot more fun then Multi-Single! However we had
trouble finding enough ops so there were periods when we were only running a
single station.

As usual, a few unplanned events. We lost an hour at the start due to problems
with our voice keyers. During the contest we also struck problems with the CT
network logging and a fault with the Rhombic antenna.

Conditions were good on the 1st day but the 2nd day was more difficult due to
low band noise and reduced propagation on the high bands. Here is a summary of
the QSOs broken down by continent
