Good things:

The newly remodelled house at our host site is very nice.

The usual crop of old friends to say hello and Happy Holidays to.

Reasonable condx on most bands.

TRLog and network ran great with no glitches.

Minimal antenna repairs needed upon arrival.

Nice little opening on 15.

No amps blew up.  Sure was  quiet.

Bad things:

The VE5WI TS-940 rx went totally numb and had to be swapped out for the VA6ZZZ
FT-1000.

The VE5FN TS-950 on 20 meters worked fb on SSB except that the speech processor
died, but for an undetermined reason, it wouldn't put out more than 10 watts on
CW and hardly tickled the amp.  Still worked lots of CW stations, low power or
not.

Great scarcity of locals on 2 and 6 meters.  Where were those guys?  Missed some
easy mults for a border area station.

No opening on 10 or 6.  Couldn't even hear VE6JY on 6 for about the first time
ever.



73 and Happy Holidays to all
