Comments:

This is a great contest and we look forward to working it.  

Unfortunately we got off to a poor start.  A few minutes before the contest
started I lowered the power on a K3 to 5 watts to test something, went outside
to connect a control cable, and came back in when the contest was in progress. 
It was over two hours into the contest before someone noticed that we were
running QRP.  Power was split three ways so perhaps we were getting 1.5 watts
into each antenna.  It was pretty obvious after a few hours that this was not
going to be our best effort.  

Fortunately my mistake did not make the difference in whether we would win.  

Thanks for the contacts.  I will load the log into LOTW in the next week or
so.

73...Stan, K5GO
