Comments:

We planned a M/2 operation, but when I messed up the band change limits going
between 160 and 80, that put us in the M/M category - not where we wanted to
be..

Well, what a difference a year (and the sun) made. 1000 less Qs on 10M and an
additional 1200+ less Qs on 40/20/15.  Not a good showing at all.  Too much
S&Ping and not enough running.  Moreover, Skip W5GAI, was not able to be
with us, so we suffered a bit on the operator experience compared with last
year.  Jim, W5TUF, joined us for the first time and is interested in
contesting, so hopefully we may grow a new member for our team.

Nonetheless, we gave it our best shot and it is what it is... Overall, no real
problems.. Had one N1MM/computer freeze up about three times - no doubt due to
some RF issues - but not a show stopper.

Thanks to all for the Qs.  We had a good time being together as a group and
enjoying radio and the food.  It was a fun weekend.
