Comments:

As always, a fun tag-team M/S effort with Peter, W2CDO. I mostly S&P while
he's the run guy. 

Discovered earlier in the week that the 80m wire had come down. Didn't get a
chance to put it back up, assuming the 160 inv-L would cover for it. It only
sort-of did. Our numbers on those bands were *significantly* lower than last
year. 

Fortunately, the roof-mounted C3-SS performed really well on 20 and 15 and what
was available on an otherwise disappointing 10m. Once again,the Orion's DSP NR
and SAF filter proved to be winners in pulling out the flea flickers! 

Overall, 17% less BIC = 20% fewer Q's, 28% fewer mults and significantly fewer
worked on all 6 bands.

Fun nonetheless!
