Comments:

It was great to get the SW New Mexico CW team together again. We're starting to
work like a well-oiled machine !

Despite the highest solar flux for NAQP in several years, the high bands were
dismal, with 15 meter QSO's and multipliers way down from last year. A little
Es to east Texas and Louisiana, the "Hudson River" F-layer propagation, and
that was it - no workable backscatter. 20 played well while it lasted, but
closed before the sun had even set. 40 seemed fine, but for inexplicable
reasons, our QSO numbers are always down vs. the regional competition. 80 and
160 seemed okay, but we could never stir up any decent rate - Felt like
activity was down compared to last year.

Not sure who all the M/2's were, but congrats to NR5M, NY3A and W2FU for great
scores from their regions. I assume I will also be congratulating K5GO, K0RF
and others when I see their scores.

Thanks to all the participants for the QSO's !

73,
Steve, N2IC
