>We had two new operators join us for this weekend - W5AG (Arch) and WA5JWU
>(Mike) - to see if we could get them interested in Multi-Op contesting.
>Hopefully we did that.  But we still have problems trying to get operators
>for
>this contest.  Having to listen to voice splatter for hours on end does not
>attract too much interest.  Moreover, I was the only operator from mid-night
>until sunrise.  By Saturday mid-night, I couldn't go anymore and got some
>rest,
>so our low band counts suffered.

>Regretfully, we did not run as much as we should have.  Plus the conditions
>for
>us on 10M were not as good as last year. We made up for some of that on 15M
>this
>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.

>But overall, we did have a good time.  No real equipment problems - just

>We'll be active for both SSCW/SSSSB and CQWW CW.  Hopefully we will have
