Comments:

Everyone has already talked about the reduced propogation conditions, so I won't
go into that.  This contest saw two microwave bands (1.2, 2.3) on a new tower
above the trees which raised my microwave score nearly 25%.  The lower four
bands were about 15% behind last year.
I really really enjoyed the first day with lots of activity, but activity was
really down on Sunday.  
I got to use the new Flex 5000a and also had no major equipment failures, only
a rotor control box which was quickly replaced with a spare.  I am glad that
the extensive work with sequencers has paid off finally.
I now look forward to putting the rest of the microwave bands up through 24GHz
on the new tower.  See k3tuf.com for progress.
All in all it was a fun time and I look forward to the next.
73,
Phil
