Comments:

It was the first major M/S effort from the new LARGE contest station, 1800' atop
Patterson Pass in Livermore, CA.  We have the usual bevy of issues that plague a
new station (e.g. antennas cut for one portion of the band, but not the other,
antennas that don't exist at all, building beverages, importing gear at the
last minute, computer networking, shortage of space for gear, etc.).  But we
had someone in front of the radio at all times, and the scheduling worked out
quite well.

On the upside, the energy of this new crew is incredible.  I just happened to
stumble across LARGE/K6LRG on their very active local 2m repeater before the
VHF contest last month and have now done three contests with them.  It took
these guys to spark up an old, jaded ham of 30 years (and I'm only 44).  These
folks are MOTIVATED, so expect much more of them in the future.
