Comments:

This 4 station multi was manned by four Iron Man ops:  K4VU (80m), K6AW (20m),
N6BV (15 and 160m),and WA6O(40m), who all put in 36 to 40 hours.  N6WM did some
listening on a dead 10m. N6RO(10 and 80m) did a few hours and cooked the pizza,
after music commitments!

Low bands were good, but 160m disappointing after previous EU openings this
season - only CT1.  80m had good condx Friday night to EU, heard many mults who
could not hear us (C4, UW2, LY,.........) 80 was noisy Sat. night to the east,
but we ended up with a reasonable mult. total for the left coast thanks to 25
EU mults, both short and LP.

40 and 20 were the volume bands, with good EU totals, 15 and 10m were about the
worst prop. yet. All but one of our 10m Qs were in one half-hour, mid-day
Sunday.  Thanks to the JAs for about half of our total QSOs!

Radios:  four K3s, two Alpha76, AL1200, Commander.
Yagi Stacks on 40, 20, 15, 10. Four squares on 80 and 160.
Wintest logger, VE7CC cluster

No equip. failures, occasional rain static.  All in all, not bad for the bottom
of the cycle.  CU on SSB.
