Comments:

This looks to be our second best NAQP CW score ever!

We're down just a few percent from our best last January. We mostly 
dropped in Mults, probably due to having no third spotting person 
combing the bands. With just two ops at a time, we just ran/ran.
Our new technique of setting up just before the contest worked out, 
but is not recommended - we got lucky. 

K6UFO and K6SF started the race on 10m and 15m. The callers seemed 
less well-behaved than usual, and too many were zero-beat. As the 
late afternoon arrived, we managed the transition to 40m with only 
a slight drop in rate. Then the fresh team of NF1R and W6RK arrived 
to take over for the evening. They did a great job on 40m and 80m 
and picked up a wonderful 21 Mults on 160m!

Four NCCC ops provide a great contribution to the NAQP Club Challenge.

Thanks for the contacts, see you in NAQP SSB and RTTY!
