Comments:

This was the first time we've done a full-out M/M from NR5M in almost 2.5 years.
George and I spent almost the entirety of the weekend prior to the contest
re-configuring the station from SO2R to 10-station M/M.

We all had a really good time and I think we all enjoyed being able to
socialize while running pileups. We had originally targeted the US M/M record
but it was pretty clear that with all the set-backs and band conditions that we
wouldn't get there. However, we did demolish the W5 M/M record set back in
1997.

We lost about 2 hours on 80 after a Stackmaster bit the dust and a couple of
hours on 15 when we lost an amp and had a hard time troubleshooting whether the
problem was with the back-up amp, lock-out boxes, or antennas. K5GA remembered
Sunday afternoon that we have had problems in the past with the back-up amps
(Alpha 76A) not being compatible with the lock-out boxes. This turned out to be
the case.

Thanks to the ops for coming out and giving this one a try. I think we'll
definitely be back next year.
