Comments: Haven't done multi from here for sometime.  Invited locals Scott,
KA3DRR, and Fred, KI6QDH - they came - so off we went.
Scott grew up under Tim, K3LR's tutelage and very capable in the "seat".
Fred - is a newbie...but definitely getting the "bug".  Our goal going in
was
minimum of 1000 Q's and a Clean Sweep.  Fortunately we were able to make
both.  Interesting condx: we waited too long to come down to
40 first evening - so ended up doing much better on 80.  Condx on 80 seemed
great.  Went back up on 40 late first evening and
did OK.  20 was our bread and butter - of course finding a "slot" is always
a challenge...but we seemed to do OK.  Scott and Fred did good on
15 Sunday morning while xyl and I went off to church.  Thankfully everything
worked well.  Improvements and changes are in order if I decide to try to
more
multi's.  Also, still have nagging RF-in-audio problems on 80 mtrs.  Need to
get past that issue once and for all.  Looking forward
to WW-CW this coming weekend....if we can pry ourselves from family time
and grand-kids and all...hihi.  Thanks for the Q''s.  BTW - had
multiple Q's in every section but SB - thanks the Chas, W6UM, who was home
in SLO to give us our only SB Q!!!!   AR and MS last two sections -
go figure!  73's - Dick
