Comments:

I'd forgotten how bad things are on 20 and 40 - my ears still hurt :-)  I ran
the K3's with the bandwidth between 1.8 kHz and 2.1 kHz all weekend, and still
had a very difficult time with the QRM.

I'd hoped for a personal best this year from Tom's wonderful mountain top
station, but it wasn't to be.  I got off to a very tough start, and was 80 q's
off my previous best pace after 4 hours.  I clawed all of that back by the time
I went to bed, but couldn't get anything going Sunday morning and fell behind
again.

Amazing local competition kept me going during the mid-day doldrums - hearing
N6BV, W6YX, WC6H, N6DE and K6YT all pounding away pushed me through.

For the first time that I can remember, I had to go after mults.  Neither PR
nor NT called me - and without the packet I probably wouldn't have found them. 
What was the story with WP3R anyway?

K6IF was:

K3 + AL-1500
K3 + Alpha 77
C-31XR's at 45' and 85'
Mag 340N at 75'
Mag 180S at 90'
