Comments:

Last Saturday the 110' 10M tower and three yagis came down in the vineyard
during a big winter storm.  With yeoman duty from N6ML, Ken was able to get his
40-year-old TH6DXX working (and rotating) atop a 30 ft. crank-up tower in the
middle of the antenna field, just in time to use on 10 meters in the contest.

Main ops: N6BV on 15, K3EST 10 (and 20,) K6AW 20 (and 10,) WA6O 40, N6WM
80-40-160, WT6K 80-160.  Guest appearance by N6RO for one QSO.

Low(er) band scores including 20M were down somewhat from prior years, 15 is
near the record for this station, and 10M was quite respectable, esp.
considering the antenna.

Many dx ops not signing their calls for long periods, lots of splatter and over
modulation, people arguing about someone stealing their qrg -- a typical ssb
contest!  There should be a lot of new records this time around -- Randy will
be busy.  It's very nice to see a little more from the sunspot department.

There are some really big scores in all three multi categories - congrats to
those teams!  Thanks for all the Q's -- see you on cw at the end of May.

73, Steve K6AW
