Comments:

This was our first ARRL DX CW multi-two effort, a result of our team's
decision to downsize for better Covid-19 safety. We enjoyed the unique
strategic challenges of this new category for us, but we're looking
forward to returning to multi-multi next year.

We improved our ham shack before this contest season to provide each
operator with a safe, very well ventilated operating environment
physically isolated from every other operator.

What happened to solar cycle 25? We made the best out of the unexpected
solar minimum conditions. We're looking forward to sunspots next year.

Our new triband Yagi on a 50 foot tower 1300 feet south of our transmitting
antennas provided interference-free in-band receiving capabilities and
contributed hundreds 20 and 15 meter S&P QSOs easily interleaved with our
run QSOs. This antenna is a big improvement over our old 20 and 15 meter
4-square receiving antennas.
