Comments:

John, W7WZ has worked very hard the last year and a half upgraded his station
for Multi-Two contesting, assisted by Don, K4ZA and Dave, AA4VT. Much larger
than AA4VT's 1/4-acre lot, W7WZ's station is on a 5-acre lot that was previously
a tree farm. A visit by the tree trimmers to clear interference with the 40m
Yagi at 100 feet was just finishing up as the contest started, causing us a
30-minute late start.

Transceivers were two Elecraft K3s with P3s

Amplifiers were Acom 2000A and Elecraft KPA1500

Antennas on the South tower are Force 12 C31XR's at 100 and 67 feet and a 160m
Inverted Vee at 95 feet.

Antennas on the North tower are a Force 12 240N at 100 feet and 80m full wave
loop with the apex at 95 feet.

Receive antennas are Hi-Z three element with 6 directions.

Antenna switching and automation are by a K8UT FreqEZ Raspberry Pi controlling a
KK1L high isolation 8x2 switch to VA6AM high power band pass filters and
triplexer.

All the equipment and antennas performed well in this inaugural effort. Look for
good things from this group at this location as we recruit additional operators.
