This was year four (first year Jim was SO). We have won for the world the last two years with 2 ops in 2017 and three in 2018. This year, we added Dennis, K2SX to make four. Two rigs, both K3s at 100W. Antennas: 4 el Step-Ir with 40M addition, 80M inverted vee, A3S (temporarily erected for the contest). Nothing broke and nobody got sick. Lots of fun, but a little frustrating not to beat last year's score. 20M QSOs were way down. Conditions generally seemed poor, but little noise on any band but 80M and not too bad there Did not erect the 160M antenna. 10M had a few surprises. Mostly Es to USA, but did work F5IN and CW4MAX on that band. Thanks for all QSOs. Log will be uploaded to LOTW and direct QSLs may be sent to K4QPL, but no bureau QSLs, please. Thanks to all for the QSOs and we all look forward to working you all again in the future. 73, John, K4BAI for the group. Posted using 3830 Score Submittal Forms at: http://www.3830scores.com/
