What a difference a year makes!  This year, I Sven (DF9MV) started on 40 and I
started on 20.  Where was my 100 hour on 15 meters to start the contest like
last year? The first hour on 20 was only 87!  40 didn't cooperate either - we
had two hours over 100 last year Friday night.  This year was noisy.

Conditions finally started to improve the last few hours of the contest Sunday.
 15 was so quiet I could work weak JA's that would normally be covered up by
band noise.  40 was very quiet during the last hour too!

I worked YJ0PO for a new country on 40 for one of the high points of the
contest!  :-)

For a while conditions were so poor that I was showing our "memorial"
WAE SSB Plaque (we won North America with 722 QSO's for a 48-hour effort). 
Peter (W2CDO) suggested what will become our mult-op team motto:  "We're
too stupid to quit."  :-)

Forty was the top scoring band again this year - usual for this station and
location - last year was an anomaly.  Our strategy is to concentrate on six
point QSO's (Europe) and work 3 point QSO's when we can't work six pointers!

This year we did more S&P chasing RBN spots.  This increased our rates
during the slow periods substantially.

Hourly rates and breakdowns of QSO's by points and band appear below.

Thanks again to John Evans, N3HBX, for letting us invade the "farm." 
This was Sven's first time operating with us - welcome to the team, Sven!

73,

Mark, KD4D
