Comments:

Meteors seemed better than average and better than last year.  Nice tropo
opening on to the SE.  W4NH and AA4ZZ were in on 2m for a few hours Sunday
evening.

Was a bit nervous when I saw the chaos on pingjockey with MSK144 vs. FSK441 but
to my surprise the chaos seemed to breed sanity and random/coordinated skeds
with both modes went surprisingly smooth.  MSK144 is a very impressive mode
with a lot of promise.  I'm really looking forward to playing with MSK144 more
during one of the upcoming major meteor showers.

Went to bed with 40 more QSOs and 4 less grids than last year, final result was
a little better than last year...we'll see if it holds through log checking.  

There were a quite a few rookie ops and rookie rovers in the area which was a
very good sign!  

FM was surprisingly productive on Saturday, not so much on Sunday.  

Thanks all for the QSOs, attempts, and fun.  Hope to see you in the Fall
Sprints and/or the ARRL January VHF contest!
