Comments:

The MARAC US QSO PARTY was fun in 2015 and 2016.  The 2017 dates for the contest
were changed to a busy contest weekend, band conditions were not good and
activity dropped a lot comparted to 2016, 2015 and 2014.

The 2023 MARAC US QSO PARTY also suffered from poor band conditions, an apparent
lack of activity and competition from the RSGB IOTA Contest.

My primary focus was on the RSGB IOTA Contest, but when I heard stations
operating in the MARAC US QSO Party, I attempted to work them.  Particularly,
when the rate was slow in the RSGB IOTA Contest when I heard a couple of mobiles
working the MARAC US QSO Party on 20m CW.  I worked a few more stations on
Sunday afternoon when no other contests were in progress.

Thanks for the QSOs and especially thanks to the mobiles, including NU0Q/m,
WA4AUG/m, AD4EB/m and AC6ZM/m.
