Comments:

Our first M/2 outing in NAQP from the K6MTU mountaintop station 
maintained by Kevin K6TD. Everybody at home, away from the station,  
coordinating by Slack, and connecting by VPN and Flex SmartSDR 
software. 

15m at the start was like a 20m opening. High rates, lots of 
callers, frequency fights, strong signals. The only difference: 
more bandwidth, so people could spread out (but no one did). So glad 
to see one more band available, at least for a portion of the contest. 

20m was the usual reliable band for 4 hours, then tapered off. We 
made the local rally on 10m at noon, but for only 4 x 1. We had three 
hours of rate over 100, then we fell off the horse from 22z to 01z. 
Finally 02z when 40m and 80m finally picked us up, but the last two 
hours really lacked activity. 

We monitored the Contest Online Scoreboard and had a great race with 
NE1C, until NX5M suddenly appeared ahead of both of us. We chased the 
Texans to the end but couldn't catch up.

The hardware performed well, the operators performed well when on, 
but we had problems with the software/connecting process when 
switching operators and bands that left some gaps in the log. 

Thanks to all the fine RTTY operators, we appreciate your QSOs. Log 
is up in Lotw, See you next time!

Best regards,
