Matt,

Thanks for the points. W4KXY was the op' on 432 and W6IZT was the op' on 
50. The W4NH crew operates from Milehigh Campground between Cherokee and 
Maggie Valley, NC, just off of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

We did reasonably, and got a bit of aurora during Sunday evening all the 
way up to 432 MHz. I was the op' on 222 and experienced my first AU 
contacts. Wow! I believe the best 222 DX was EN41. Conditions were a bit 
flat on 6m.

Here is a summary:

         VALID    PTS PER      QSO    GRID SQUARE
          QSOs    QSO       POINTS    MULTIPLIERS

144 MHz    232       1         232     66
222 MHz     54       2         108     29
432 MHz     79       2         158     31
902 MHz      6       3          18      4
1296 MHz    11       3          33      5
2304 MHz     1       4           4      1
TOTAL      672                 842    234    197028

OPERATORS: K4EA  K4RBM  K4SZ  K5AND  N4GER  NX9O  W4ATL  W4KXY  W4SKI  W6IZT  WE8W  WW8RR

To my knowledge, only 3 of the 12 are SECC members.

We have never seen so much rain on the mountain as we did for the June VHF contest this year. Fortunately, setup and teardown were not that wet.

We'll be back there in September.

Cheers,
