Comments:

Thanks again to John Evans, N3HBX, for letting us invade
the farm again!  He has built a wonderful new station and it
is great to be LOUD! 

I managed to get a setting wrong on one of 
the radios which caused us to be a bit deaf on 40 for
the first few hours, but the European sunrise opening
was great Saturday morning.

It seemed like there was an almost endless supply of
stations from western Europe on 40 after European
sunrise giving out low serial numbers.  Thanks for all of
the points!

Twenty was obviously the money band.  The 15 meter
opening Sunday morning was better than Saturday, but not
great.  We went over an hour without a QSO on Saturday
morning between when 40 finally dried up and 20 opened.

We had a great group of operators and had a wonderful time!
Tom, NI1N, did a wonderful job on 80-meter multipliers
even though the beverages are down until the soybeans are
harvested and the only transmit antenna for 80 SSB was
an inverted vee.  I know that there were stations calling 
we could not pull out of the static on 80.

Rich, NN3W, had a great three hours Saturday morning on 
20, including a 117 hour.  K4ZW and N3HBX managed about
100 QSO's during the 15 meter opening Sunday morning and
took us to 1400 QSO's on 20 meters.  No Europe heard on 10.

We managed to almost triple our score from last year.
Here are our hourly rates (including dupes).  See
you in the next one.
