WA9ALS:  628 Q's
KB9YTW:   57 Q's (11 yrs old, CW tech)

Station A (883 Q's):  IC-756PRO, AL-1200 with C31XR (KW) or R-7 (400W)
Station B (529 Q's):  MARK-V FT-1000MP (150-200W) with full size Carolina
Windom 160 (265 ft)

Software:  Writelog v10.27G and DX Telnet.  MMTTY on both stations, with
dual rcv with the DXP38 on station A.  Writelog and networking worked great!
Thanks to K1TTT for the ARCluster, from which we only disconnected once
during the whole contest.  With the 2-way Internet connection, even our
final link with the cluster was via RF!

Networked multi-op muti-stations was sure a fun way to operate a contest!
Never more than 600-some Q's from this QTH before.  Lots of fun being able
to talk with other hams live during the contest.  Great to operate with
friends and family!

37 hr effort.  Highest rate for a whole hour was 74 at 1400z Day 1, although
rates would be much higher for thrilling short periods.  Great DX, and some
new ones.  Thanks for all the Q's and experience and for the 5-banders,
especially AD1C who moved a couple of times.

Special thanks to my team members, including XYL and harmonics who put up
with this all weekend and went out of their way to make us comfortable.
