This time, 10 was non-existent, and 15<br>only fleeting. <br><br>For Run1 WM5H opened on 20m, with Run 2 manned by W5WZ to run 10m with KD5YS on<br>the in-band S&P. 15 minutes in we moved from 10m to 15m. 20m was generating<br>good but not spectacular rate, and we kept a radio on 20m until about an hour<br>after local sunset. <br><br>The big surprise was how quiet the low bands were. Normally 160m in August is a<br>no-go for us, and 80m is noisy; this time W5WZ had some great rates on 80m<br>utilizing the 4-sq for both TX and RX. <br><br>On the S&P rig, we again utilized the special 1/2" EMT conduit<br>vertical, and also employed a tri-band yagi at 8 feet above ground, with<br>surprisingly good results. KD5YS was the primary in-band op, generating nearly<br>15% of the total QSOs throughout the contest.<br><br>No station issues. N1MM crashed once on two differnent computers. <br><br>Food as always was good and more than needed. We smoked a pork shoulder during<br>the contest, had the fantastic deli meats, breads, and cheeses that WM5H always<br>brings. KD5YS favored us with a fruit tray and veggie tray. Some cake was also<br>here.<br><br><br>Posted using 3830 Score Submittal Forms at: <a href="http://www.3830scores.com/">http://www.3830scores.com/</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
