We had a blast, even though propagations were not very good. We are very 
happy with the 160m numbers and also 40m considering what crap antenna 
we were using.

Maybe I have energy to do a serious effort in 9A CW but we will 
see...otherwise I guess the next one will be CQ 160 CW and ARRL.

160m: 37m vert
   80m: 4-SQ
   40m: Vert
   20m: 6el @55m + 3el @19m
   15m: 6el @14m
   10m: 6/6el @16/11m

FT2K + Granger (1kW)
IC-7400 + ACOM-1000
FT1KD + 4-1000A for 160m

Comments:

We were hoping for better propagation's, especially on the lowbands. 
Luckily the bands recovered a bit on Sunday which made us catch up a bit 
in mults. 20m was a big disappointment, the band closed pretty early to 
US. We have no real 40m antenna (just a vertical) so this band was a 
huge struggle but we are kind of happy with the result anyway.

We had one radio dedicated for 160m since we have a "monoband" amp for 
that band. And we had two radios we shifted between running and mult 
hunting. We are very happy with the 160m result and when we get more 
hardware up next year we will be more flexible and the 40m result will 
hopefully have a huge improvement. There is a lot of work to do to make 
this station a competitive M/S station, but after just over one year at 
the new QTH we feel that we are on the way to something good.
