[SECC] Band Conditions during NAQP CW

[Dave Edmonds]

I only had a couple of hours to operate in this one. 120 qs, 50 mults ,
6000 pts.

Moving stations to other bands for mults is something I try to do in the
NAQP. I will typically ask a local SC, Nc or GA station to try other bands
like 10m etc for the mults. That’s why you see many lots of 1’s in 10m
column.

I’m changing my vacation dates for next year!
