Comments:

Many thanks to John Evans, N3HBX, for letting us take his brand 
new station for a spin!  Also, thanks to our host David Evans 
and Ender (puppy security!).

This was a great operating group...too bad conditions were so 
terrible. Rol (K3RA) and John (N3HBX) basically operated during 
the day and Masa (AJ3M) and I (KD4D) at night.  John and I did 
the last five hours or so.

What terrible conditions!  I don't usually watch K indexes, 
but I don't ever remember seeing a K index of 9 during a 
contest! Congratulations to NO2R for a GREAT total on 80 
meters the first night.

We hung in there.  We were on the entire 48 hours...even 
though we went over four hours without a single QSO!  Ugh...

The new station works very well. The 80 meter antenna is still a 
dipole, but the rest of the antennas are up.  We lost one amplifier 
during the contest. Also, we used N1MM Logger for the first time 
(for any of us).  It stayed up the entire weekend...after some 
initial problems which we found before the contest, it basically 
just worked.  I was particularly impressed with the serial number
server which worked flawlessly.
