I'll echo N6NT's comments about equalization of signals from the S5 Boys.
There were more pronounced differences on 15 than on 20, but none were
dramatic. Well done.
I only managed to work 41 of the stations, probably because I did not want to
do SSB. All of my 345 QSO's were on CW, mostly S&P. I also dumped a lot of
spots on packet.
I was also concerned about logging accuracy. I pushed a wrong button and
duped S548X. They did not challenge the dupe and kept on going. I guess they
were looking to N6AA and crew to clean up logs after the contest.
I was also disappointed to have such crummy condx on 40. The only European I
worked (or heard) was DA0HQ. Ten was a bust. I couldn't even hear my partner,
J75KG.
All and all, it was fun to search for the boys. I never figured out who was
who, not even one of them even said hello. Guess they had guidelines to
follow.
