Comments:

Decided on Multi-single and a goal of 4000 Q's with 300 mults and at halftime we
were well on our way with FB rates on all bands and 280 mults until the sky
turned bright green above Fairbanks with aurora. 

Being this far south here on the Kenai peninsula this usually doesn't bother 
us but it does absorb the low bands and crushed any hope of hitting the 4000
mark after the first night. Topband was dead quiet using my full size 1/4
vertical for receive which is very rare. My logging program wouldn't allow me
to log "ESP Colorado" after a station pass from 80 to 160 so I changed it to
339 which almost means the same thing anymore. Very high 150-170+ rates on
20-10 after daylight Sunday but we couldn't make up the damage from low to zero
hours on 160-40 all night.


Thanks to Wigi, AL7IF for flying down to do this and cooking the post 
contest "too much food and (drink)" dinner. It was fun. With these new
coffee machines that make one cup at a time I can report between the two 
of us we drank 31 cups. Next up 160 SSB.
