Comments:

An interesting contest.  We were unable to make the trip to the contest site
until Saturday morning and managed to get antennas and equipment for both bands
set up with just 5 minutes to go before the contest started.  Propagation stank
on both bands, except for an EA8 on 6m towards the end.  On the other hand, we
added a 3rd operator, WSJT capability and a bit more power on 6m which kept us
about up to last year's pace.  We managed to add some FSK441 meteor scatter and
even EME QSOs to the log for the first time.  As others have commented, Ping
Jockey, etc., were really confusing, with most people ignoring or unaware of
the contest rules limitations, especially with we being new to the use of these
sites under the CQ WW rules.
