Excellent job Ted & crew!

My goal in CQWW SSB this year was to see if I could work 100 countries on 10 meters with my 2-element rebuilt SteppIR. I ended up working 110 mults on 10 so I guess I achieved that goal.

73, Don AA5AU

>We had two new operators join us for this weekend - W5AG (Arch) and WA5JWU

>Regretfully, we did not run as much as we should have.  Plus the conditions for

>time.  Overall, total Qs for both bands were about the same as last year.  But
>both our country and zone counts are down this year.  And we missed Zone 29
>entirely.  Also, seems that activity on 160/80/40 was lower this time around.
