Comments:

We definitely experienced the disturbed conditions - this score is about 10
million points below our last m/m which was two years ago.  We had two new ops
this trip - Dave, N3RD who got his fill of shoveling on 40 meters and did a
fine job of it; and Lee, KY7M who swapped Africa for Galapagos and, being the
new guy, got 10 meters as a bonus.  He stuck it out on 10, did a great job
there, and did some relief operating on 80 as well.  Dave, W6NL was at the helm
on 80 doing a masterful job again this year, with needed help from Barb, K6BL. 
The Gator (N5RZ) was in charge of getting a sweep and keeping lids under
control on 20.  George, W2VJN returned for 160M duties and did a great job
there.  K6AW was on 15 and N5KO filled in wherever and whenever needed, for as
long as necessary.

We used five K3´s this trip 160-15 and everyone was very pleased with the
radio´s performance.

Secial thanks to our hosts Guido, HC8GR and Chelita, HC8FR and their family for
their warm hospitality and friendship.  Thanks to the expeditions who make it
out to less-traveled places to put on rare mults, and thanks to everyone for
the qso´s.

73, Steve K6AW/HC1
