AA4FU K2AV K4BAI K4QPL N4AF decided to run a small M/M. Not as
competitive as M/2 but surely nice to not worry about whether you can
work a station from a mult position - or not.
The score was very representative of the teams' effort. Eg, no
failures and no excuses. Just a WHOLE LOT of fun.

Condx were extremely good. Perhaps the one disappointment was 10M- but
I think, had the MUF gone up higher, it would have been to the
detriment of 160/80.
80M was about as good as I can remember and 15M just exploded Sunday morning.

Very nice to set K4BAI  'the vacuum cleaner' down on a band and watch
him do his thing.
We really had no band plans so it was amazing to see that everything
got covered so well.
In retrospect, 5 ops for 3 positions came out about right as we were
all fairly rested at the end.
Suspect it helps to have night-owls K2AV and AA4FU QRV.

For us, 80, 40, and 15 were the real door busters.
SUPER nice to hear 15M go so wide, K4QPL even got called by VU !

Will put some more from AA4FU up on the n4af website in the coming days.

73, Howie
