Comments:

N1MM Logger 6.9.6, PK-232 + MMTTY (receive-only)
FT-1000MP + 4CX1000, TS-940S + Alpha 78
Skyhawk, low TH5 fixed on Europe, XM-240, 80m dipole

Because there were only two of us for most of the duration, we decided to enter
M/S. M/S is a lot more difficult than M/2, and our strategy could use some work.
We made only 143 multiplier QSOs on the mult radio, most of them on the first
day. That's a lot of work relative to a very small gain, considering that we
would likely have picked up the majority of the multipliers later anyway.

Our M/S operating techniques clearly need work. Nevertheless, it would have
been easy to run up a considerably bigger score in M/2 during the same
operating time. In the interests of the club's score we would have done better
to operate M/2.
