Comments: This was our 5th year, I believe, operating as Team MOO. Our third year using the 11 element log  and bandpass filters along with a tri-plexer.  Additional antennas included my G5RV for 40 and 80 plus an end fed also for 40 and 80. A problem on 10M with high SWR resulted in  a possible bad coax jumper I made to a band switch, however, the culprit was a broken connector. A few times my computer lost networking and I had to reboot. Many stations came back as dupes but after a while I just worked them.
This was our best score to date and 10M and 15M were outstanding.  We also had minimal interference on 20M from 10M due in part to much better coax switches. Got a bit worried on Sunday morning because after nine everything slowed down and 20 looked dead on my P3. A few hours later until the closing bell we were both busy. Always a fun contest.
