Comments:

A 'clean run' and great effort to keep the station operating all 48 hours of the
contest...  As others have noted, the low digit reports meant a wide section of
stations came on to participate, without which there would be no contesting. 
Great to see.

As for the operating team here, just a great job by all and very fun gathering
to boot!  Mark W7ZB who held a clinic on how to find and hold a frequency ...
Andy KE7AUB who sacrifices sleep to work 40m all night.  Joe NK7U for his
station work last fall AND staying up on the low bands both nights, on the
remote from his Nevada hideout...

Star Pupil this time was Yuki, K7SAK who did a great job of running 40m for
hours on Saturday evening ... he's only contested a bit but did great ... a
rising star!  As always, great to have the support Steve N7BEF, Hank KR7X doing
the morning 20m shift, Ken K7PAC paying close attention to W7ZB's tips and
tricks, and Marc K7WXK who earned his meal ticket.  Nice to meet Dave N7DWL who
paid his first visit to the station.  Jim KI7Y of course here to keep the troops
entertained while not operating ...  

Conditions were not great, but they were what they were, and you make the best
of it!  Just regret 15m being a real no-show.

Station efforts of last summer and fall still paying off, with zero station
issues ... and the unsolicited 'great audio' reports a testament to the great
sounding IC-7610 - feeding the Alpha 9500... 

The remote ops who were standing by didn't get much of a chance to operate, due
to the great participation of the locals. Sorry, time for M/M in 2020?

See you in the CW WPX!
