Comments:

What a great weekend - seemed I had been waiting for more than 15 years for this
kind of excitement on ALL the bands.  Only major disaster was in the first 5
minutes on 160, something serious happend - still need to find the problem the
failure occured between the amp and the antenna farm - decided to not bother
trying to chase down the problem and see if I can still stay in the hunt with
this limitation (turns out I really needed that bunch of Q's, Z's and C's to
get a lot closer to that upper pack!)  But hey, it was still a great weekend. 
Conditions were amazing to say the least on all bands that still worked at this
place.

So much for the excuses - Congrats to DG, ZD and DQ for some spectacular
numbers (DG - you glad I fixed your Ring Rotor this past fall?)

I can be nice - help my competition with their antenna work!

I think it is now time to fire up the M/M team again - now instead of listening
to noise all weekend on all but 2 bands (varies over the course of the weekend),
one can actually work stations practically anytime on any band!  Been a long
time coming and really happy for the reture of great conditions. SO2R is fun
but do like the group effort - good fun, good times and helpful to the newest
operators.

Another exciting addition to the shack was a borrowed K3 to replace an Icom
781.  Very impressed but still need to learn a bit more to max the usefulness
of this level of technology.  This weekend was great for really taxing the
receiver - had some issues but overall thought it worked just fine.
Other than the complete loss of 160, everything worked well.  Now I can
appreciate more the need for all bands to ready to play.

Thanks again to all that participated in this incredible world wide event.  

See you in the next contest!

73, Mark, K1RX
