Comments:

We lost one of the ACOM amps just before the contest and had to resort to a
manual switching amp in one of the band switching positions.  We were also
several ops short for a competitive M/2 effort and decided to go for a maximum
point effort for the FRC.  My grateful thanks my wife for putting up with this
crazy hobby and to the operators, who stayed in the chair as much as possible. 
We are getting a bit long in tooth to put in the hours that we once did.  

Most bands were surprisingly good, considering the solar flux.  It was very
difficult the first night on 80M and on Saturday on 15M getting a run going. 
Had to resort to S&P on both of those bands for the first day.  Sunday was much
better and running was possible.  

Thanks to all those who called in and for those who fought the QSB and stayed
with us.  

With any luck, we will be back as a M/2 in the next one.
