Comments:

The weekend here at Smoke Ranch was mostly spent eating, drinking, laughing, and
working on amp projects in the shop. We had a great group of guys coming and
going the entire weekend. In addition to the above we all took turns sitting in
front of two radios going up and down, and up and down, and up and down the
amateur bands. At times we called CQ and had a few good runs. Someone took some
great photos of fellows sleeping in front of radios in the middle of the night.
Thank you Asia for all the contacts, without you we would have broken the
record for the fewest QSOs in a DX contest for a multi station. On the subject
of multi, could someone explain why multi two is limited to 6 band changes per
hour? The only way we could maintain a middle of the night rate of 8 QSOs per
hour was to change bands eight times. So we will submit our score as a multi
multi. DX Contesting from the Pacific Northwest at the bottom of the cycle is
an exercise in patience mastered only by those who enjoy watching paint dry. 

As always, we had a great time, and Ruth and I thank all who stopped by and
spent the weekend operating, and to all those who worked us, thank you.
