Comments:

Our raw score at the end of the test was 6,899,700 -- but after careful log
analysis, elimination of bogus calls and other possible sources of troubles, we
ended up just a notch behind W2FU (although if one of "his" (a.k.a. Green Heron
Engineering) rotator control boxes would not fail, and NU3C spent 40 minutes
chasing mults rather than wiring back our old M2 control box, we well may beat
them -- but there were more equipment failures to blame for our lower than
possible score. Too long to list). Indeed, 44K points is not a huge distance
either, so even being close behind W2FU is quite a success for the three of us.
Indeed, they won by a huge margin with much better multiplier count. We need to
work on our skills -- or just sleep less. 

Highlight was our new 4 square for 80 meters (KC1XX did a great job as usual).
We never had 80 meters like this. Overall improvement comparing to the slopper
was from 1 to 2 S-units in Europe. I could work EY8MM on 80 30 minutes before
our sunset, through the EU-wall.

Another new toy was CW Skimmer... 

Now I have much better view of the future M/S setup... Hopefully, by the next
contest season we will have everything in place.
