Comments:

Although K8AZ usually enters as in the multi-single category, this year I
had a
conflicting professional commitment on Saturday and a number of the regular
operators were unavailable for the weekend, so we decided on a part-time
effort, and entered Multi-Two so that anyone who wanted to operate could do
so,
without worrying about the band-change rules that limit multiplier chasing,
etc.
in multi-single.  What a blast!

It was great to have 10m open to Europe again, although an ice storm
Saturday
night rendered almost all of the 10m antennas either non-rotatable or
unusable.
 That said, we still had fun running Eu and chasing mults and everything
else
worked well.  And 15 meters was just amazing.

Looks like it's time to turn the 10m fixed array from SE to NE for fall
2011.

Congratulations to all the guys who achieved such superb scores.

Tom, K8AZ
