Comments:

First SO2R experience (any mode). Had a blast with N1MM (which has some rough
edges, but great features).

Two K3's, two Alpha 76's and some great antennas, all thanks to N6RO.

Condx weren't great. Had a hard time being heard by EU on 20m - S&P only, and
someone must've forgotten to pay the utility bill for 80m - it was totally dead
on the second night.

Disappointing JA turnout - seemed the bands were open, but no pile-ups.

Could have sustained higher rates, but the calls weren't coming. Peaked at
around 300/hr several times for short periods.

Should be fun when the bands come back!
