Comments:

The VC6R operator workhorses were VE6RST and VE6CNU who did a great job in
running and keeping the F1 key alive. VE6EZ joined us for the first 24 hours
VE6GP did the required repairs and provided the team with excellent technical
support.

160M – An all time high for Qs, Zones and Countries

80M – 2nd most productive nighttime band. The first 24 hrs the high K index  
made for weak and short openings. Discovered that the 4-SQ had some problems,
repaired Saturday morning. The next 24hr much improved. Last 1 1/2 hour
produced some impressive mults.

40M - The nighttime workhorse. The low MUF at our latitude meant that Q runs
into Europe and Japan were not possible. We could only S&P the louder stations
from these regions. Gray line contributed the deep DX mults.

20M – Was a daytime band only in regard to establishing any time of Q run. DX
wise it did not open to Europe until after 1500Z and closed to Japan by 0030Z.
Our over the pole was weak and not very productive.

15M – A shadow of its formal self from the high sunspot years. As this band
is our golden workhorse band for running DX stations. Very short openings to
everywhere. In total this band was only live for about 8 hours for us for the
whole contest

10M – heard about 4 stations at high noon, worked 2
