Comments:

This was a tough weekend.  Not much cooperation from Ol Sol.  Although things
did pop a little bit Sunday early afternoon.  

So with the sun punishing us on the high bands, we had the winds and S9+ noise
with that on the low bands.  

10 meters was really tough.  Saturday AM there were only 4 QSO's in the log. 
That is not for lack of trying.  We had someone CQing and tuning all day.  

Then we had K9MU pounding away on 15 most of Sunday (and I think Saturday too). 
168 QSO's is all that band would produce.  

So there are the excuses.  :)  Some fun was had by the ops.  Oh, we had a pretty
big crew this year too.  Good to see things well staffed.

Bill, AE0EE sent this note after the contest:

    One highlight of my contest experience came while running on 40M
    Saturday night local, when an H4 called in with a rare and
    much-appreciated multiplier.

I was on 20 at the end and my moment was putting a mult in the log seconds
before the end. 

Thanks as always to Paul and Mary for their hospitality and the great place to
operate from.  Even when conditions are poor.
