Comments:

Great to see high band propagation on the rise. 10 and 15 mtrs was a blast.
Mother nature had us in her grasp Fri night and all day Saturday with ultra
high QRN and rain static from a storm that dumped a lot of rain on our QTH.
Beverages did a fair job on 80/160 mtrs both nights thank goodness however 
the low bands weren't as much fun as the CW weekend on lowbands which had fair
WX cndxs. However that is what you have to deal with and the op's forged ahead.
The antennas on the high bands performed well. The fairly new(summer of 2010)
10/15/20mtr stacks of old Hygain Long Johns did there best.
 This was a casual effort with plenty of off time for food, drink and sleep
( multi 2 lite = 4 ops). Had the 1st equipement failure in a awhile as an TT
Orion xcvr and Alpha 374A amp decided not to play with the boys during the
course of the event. Other than that  their were some great runs and tons of
mult hunting which will make some great conversation in the future. Still
sorting out the station configuration however. TNX to all the DX for being on
the bands and see you next year. Gud luck in the future es 73 Tim,KY5R and
crew.
