> This year the LCC members opted to go to W5WZ's QTH for our annual SS SSB
> Contest get together.  Previously we have run as W5RU(@KN5O).
> 
> This time of year, WX can be an issue for us.  Fortunately a cold front passed
> though our area just prior to the start of the contest, so we had excellent WX
> conditions (no thunderstorms to deal with).  Additionally, we didn't have any
> computer and/or antenna radio equipment problems, so it was "all
> good."  
> 
> We started off on 20m and 15m and noticed that our 20m performance dropped off
> earlier than usual, forcing us to move to 40m and 80m sooner than we have in
> the past.  However we were able to put 82 sections in the log after about 6
> hours of operation, missing only NL.  By 1AM (when we usually take our first
> break), we had nearly 1100 Qs in the log - good but not as good as we have had
> in the past.  
> 
> On Sunday, the rate was substantially down from years past.  We did the best we
> could in trying to run, but it was somewhat disappointing.  Conditions are
> obviously deteriorating.  All that being said, we were able to work VO1KVT for
> our last mult early Sunday morning.  He had a pretty good pileup and managed it
> well.  After putting him in the log, we just had to settle down and run as best
> we could.
> 
> All-in-all, we had a good time and are satisfied with our performance.  We had
> lots of food and snacks and a good time was had by all.  Many thanks to Scott
> (W5WZ) and his wife Sharon for allowing us to invade their home. 
> 
> We want to thank everyone for the Qs and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
> 
> And, on a very positive note, we noticed large numbers of Checks in the past 2
> year.  The new hams ARE getting on the air!
