Comments:

To say this was a spectacular contest would be an understatement.  It could even
be called magical.  There are so many highlights that it would fill several
pages highlighing them all; EU on 160; short path EU on 80; EY8MM on 80;
working EU on 40 at 1:00 PM local time and through the afternoon; C98LW on 40
long path Sunday morning local with no pile up; the JA runs were back on 20;
TO3R on 40 15 minutes before the end of the contest after all of us tracking
him through the weekend; working the TT8 on one call through the pile; JA on 15
meters on Sunday for a double mult. – amazing but true; working friends DK9TN
and DK4YJ both at HB0;  and much more.  Being on 40 was like operating from
another QTH. Now I have a felling for what the East Coast U.S. experiences.

It was also exceptionally gratifying to see the synergy of the team come
together, despite two missing members; one due to a funeral, the other to a new
birth.  The post-contest debrief resulted in a list of minor improvements; quite
a change from the previous lists which had major “to do” improvements.

Congratulations to the team.  Thanks to everyone for the QSOs.  Wishing you and
your families the best of the holiday season.

73,

Andrew, W7VJ
