Comments:

I originally planned a 160m SB operation since the Stew Perry was on this
weekend also, but that was a mistake.  A handful of contacts after 1 Hr and
that was itâ€"change of plan, I needed more action.  Decided to play on the
other bands and give out the NS mult.  I could not stay up past 11:00PM-just
tired from the past week so a limited time engagement!  8.5 hrs total operating
time.  

All in all, I am very happy with the result when compared to last year.
Operating time 8.5 vs 16 Hrs last year, QSOs' 455 vs 563 last year (if I spent
more time, would have achieved it).  Mults: 59 vs 48 last year, did well here
even without mults on 10m & 2m (had 4 mults on those bands last year).  Score
168.8K vs 144.8K (16% improvement).  My Qrate increased significantly from 35
vs 53 Q/Hr on average, so I am very pleased with that.  Overall it looks like
efficiency has improved significantlyâ€"beat my score and mults in less than
half the time from last yearâ€"so maybe next year for an all out effort! 

Sorry to VE9ML, I could just not pick you out of the noise.   Thanks to VY2RAC
for picking me up on 20m!!
I found conditions to be a bit poor the first night, or just less stations on? 
MCCers worked: VE9ML, VA1MM, VE1DT, VY2RAC, VO1HP, VE1SQ, VE1LD, VE9AA, VE1SKY.
PS Thanks to all the US stations that participated!!

PS Stew Perry 160m just handed out a few pointsâ€"too dang tired.

Thanks guys, till next year!

Tony VE1ZA
