Multi-2 switching built around WX0B SIXPAK


What a weekend, conditions were great, lots of dx activity, 
and the right number of op's for a Multi-2 without killing oneself.

This is a good contest to smoke test the station before the
SSB and CW contests come along, and to work out any last bugs such as RFI,
bad relays, bad coax, inetrmod. We found a few minor things that will be 
repaired prior to the SSB contest.

Thanks to Jeff (K1AM) for sticking it out with a bad cold and to everyone 
who worked and/or QSY'd for us. 

This score beats the old North American M/2 record by about 3 Meg.

Congrats to N5KO, AD1C and K6AW for a super M/2 score from HC8N.

See you all on SSB in a few weeks.

73,
