Comments:

Wow, what a weekend. First off, thanks to Woody WW1WW for letting us invade the
Battleship NH station for the weekend. Scotty K0DQ greatly prefers CW over SSB
so that enabled us to plan
a little multi-op effort for the weekend. Woody is truly an engineer's
engineer
and settles for nothing less than excellence in his station. We experienced no
technical failures of any
type. Everything worked perfectly!

It was a real pleasure to be able to sign the W2PV call this weekend. Doug
K1DG
was one of the original W2PV operators and this was a real trip down memory
lane
for him this
weekend. For guys like me who only got started in 1980, well, all I remember
is
hearing W2PV on the bands and working many stations I could not hear. I
thought,
wow, it would be cool to
do that one day. So it was a pretty cool experience that brought back memories
for all of us, including many DX stations who checked in and were happy to
hear
the call on the air. Lots
of pleasant memories for all.

Conditions were a bit subdued on Friday night and we didn't know what the
weekend would end up holding for propagation. But Saturday was great on the
high bands and Sunday was even
better. So it all worked out in the end.

We were neck and neck with the K1LZ M/S until Saturday afternoon when we began
pulling away. Fortunately we were able to maintain and expand that lead until
the end of the contest. This
would appear to be a new USA M/S record. Congrats to the K1LZ for a super job
and for breaking their own record as well.

Thanks to all the DX stations who graciously show up for this event - it's
certainly a different contest than CQWW and doesn't attract as large a crowd
as
CQWW, but it attracts enough
and provides for great activity levels on the bands. Thanks to all of you!

73,
Dave KM3T for the team
