Comments:

Definately an action packed contest this year.

The bands were alive and well despite the low solar numbers.  Good activity
from all sections (a little lower than usual from fire struck SoCal).  We were
constantly keeping an eye on the hills behind the NA QTH since the area is bone
dry and the winds were kicking up to 40mph at times.  Reminds me of the super
thunderstorm that I operated through back in 2004 to make my best ever SS
score.  I was hoping for some of that weird luck again this year.  

I started off super well, with a 163 hour but QRM and a slammed frequency, my
second hour dropped below 100.  It was one of those kind of weekends,
constantly battling stations that were not super serious but put out serious
signals within my skirts.  Made for a real rough go at times.  I'm thinking of
hiring a couple of the pig farmers from 14.300 next year to help me police my
run frequency.  Those guys are persistent and they "GIT'R DUUUUUUN"!!!!

Congrats to W7WA, NR5M, and N2IC ops for making the win competitive.
Say, when is KP2/KP4/KH7 gonna be treated as DX? (age old question I know)

As usual, Glenn and his wife are superb hosts.  I ate right, had a nice bed,
and the station ain't too shabby either.  

Thanks to all you guys for stopping by to pass some traffic this weekend.  I'm
now looking to next year more than ever!!!  Let's keep the momentum bringing
all those new ops to the contest, more trinkets, brooms and such!!
