Once again the FUN meter was bouncing against the far peg...WOW, talk aboutbetter than expected conditions. After having a great time operating as aMulti-Single in CQWW, we decided to do it again. Everyone pitched in and set upthe station much the same as the last time plus adding an 80m sloper to EU. Notknowing what to expect on 10m, we wanted to improve the station numbers on 80m& 40m.   The team included local Coastal Amateur Radio Society club members, Kevin,KB4W, Paul, KC2NYU, Lowell, NY4D, Bob, N5GNA, Bill, K4WP, Chuck, N4KKD andJere, KT4ZB, The weekend was virtually all Search and Pounce and it shows inthe QSO count.   Lowell, Bob and Kevin gave up sleep time to keep the stationgoing in the wee hours of the night concentrating on clearing the bandmaps for160m, 80m and 40m. Their hard work showed up in what are the highest countrycounts ever for the station on 80m and 40m. Daytime hours were spent chasing DXwith Paul having the best hour rate and Kevin the best 10 minute rate. Our lastcontact was a much needed mult, 5J0P..    All had fun chasing the DX - 5J, 6W, A65, A71, A93, KH2, GJ, J38, J62, JA (6on 40m), HB0, HZ, T32, TC3 VP8/H & UA2 were nice additions to the total.Also, thanks to 6Y6LZ, CR2X, P40L, TI5M & TI5W for hearing us on all 6bands. Chuck took honors for best DX with LU1ZI, Antartica.   We beat our goal of 1,100 QSOs and 320 countries by a bunch, thanks to oleyeller in the sky and the ops hard work. The station played well except for aknown sluggish rotor and N1MM+ was rock solid. That and having an All Star teammade for a memorable weekend.   Thanks to the ARRL Contest committee for sponsoring this great contest andto all the folks around the world whose contacts filled our log. cu in WPX - JereFT1000MP Field and FT1000MP Mk V(100w), TH6DXX, A3S, XM240 for 40m, 40 and 80mdipoles, inverted L for 160m, 160m horizontal. loop, 80m sloper, 20m portableYagi and N1MM+.
