Comments:

The station worked was well prepared with a lot of greatly appreciated help from
N5RR, K5QQ, N5XR, KM5G, N5ECT, WD5R, K5ALU, K5LG, and KC2G with friends, Rita,
and of course N5DX.  

Everything worked pretty well without only a few technical issues to deal with
during the contest.  The result was that I had time and desire to actually
operate several hours, especially enjoying some good rates with the new 40M
antenna.

All of the crew are great guys and we had a good time this weekend.

We were pleased to have K5KA from Oklahoma join us for the first time and also
thank K0OU, K9BGL and N5XR for making the drive to spend their weekend on the
mountain.  

Some of the better rates were on 40 and 80 during the last hour of the contest
during daylight, and we wished we could have had another couple hours of those
conditions.

Following was the station setup for the contest:

160M Omni 6+, AL-1500, 160 foot shunt fed tower
80M IC-7800, IC-765, BTI-LK2000, 4 Square

Thanks for all of the contacts.  

73...Stan, K5GO
