Comments:

'Good time getting together with members of the informal Tualatin Valley
Contesters group, for the fifth year in a row (all M/S LP).

Condx were a far cry from last year, and score is down by 43%.  But we still
had some fun runs, with peak 60 minute rates of about 150 on both SSB and CW.

(W7TVC scores since 2011 are 750K/465K/1159K/1044K/588K.)

Our CW QSO count was down (from 1018 to 684 - we missed team member WS7L), but
our SSB count was up (from 404 to 555).

We made 15 QSOs Friday evening, 554 on Saturday, and 683(!) on Sunday (before
duping).

Didn't hear any Europeans this year (vs. working 15 last year).  The log shows
3 Qs with Africa, 25 with Oceania, 30 Asians (all JAs, i.e., 1 mult), and 82
South Americans.  (And 1110 North Americans.)

Worked all states, except NM and WY.

84% of our QSOs were from CQing.

It's always fun to have mults call you.  It's extra fun when they're rare to
boot.  Tnx to V51YJ and VP8NO for coming back to our low power CQs.

Hope to work you next year!
