Comments:

2015 is the twelfth and final year of the K0PC/W9DND team in
the MN QSO Party. John is hanging up the driving gloves after
the WIQP in March. I have been very lucky to have his steady
hand at the wheel all these years. I will miss him.

For years we have had a pretty lucky streak without a visit
from Murphy. He must have known this was our last run and
decided to come along for old time's sake. We used a new
laptop this year and had problems with RF getting in on the
USB cable. 40M was fine but the computer hung up on 20M. I
normally pack ferrite cores but forgot them this year. After
three hours stuck on 40M I finally realized I had some cores
on the power line and antenna control line. I stole those to
use on the USB cable and that solved the problem. Nothing
showed up during my smoke test a few days before the contest
so I was expecting smooth sailing.

Some statistics:
972 QSOs (including dupes) for an overall rate of 97/hr
Top ten minute rate: 198/hr
Top sixty minute rate: 136/hr
183 Unique calls in log

27 K9NW
21 W0BV
20 NU0Q
19 N2WN, W0AIH

Special credit goes to AF9T, K9NW, NU0Q, and W0AIH for a
Clean Sweep of the eighteen counties we activated.

Thanks to everybody who participated in MNQP 2015.

73,
Pat K0PC & John W9DND
