Final Score = 308750 points.

After looking at last year's scores, I figured a 1000 x 200 total would
be nice for a multi.  WOW!  Guess I was wrong.

More QSOs on 10 than 15????  What happened there??  Dunno, but it was
nice!

Station 1:      K9PG op
FT-1000MP       20 & 80M "money bands"  (plus a couple Qs on 15 & 40)
5/5/5/5 on 20M, 3 el M^2 on 80M, 2 2-wire beverages

Station 2:      WE9V op
FT-1000MP       10, 15, 40 & 160M "easier bands for the CW wimp"
5/5/5 on 10M, 6/6/6/6 on 15, 3/3 on 40M, Lazy V for 160, shared bevs

Split the bands up this way to give Paul the most Qs, as I'm not really
a CW operator.  (Last time we split up the bands this way for NAQP SSB,
I had 994 of 1659 Qs on 20&80.)  This time we had almost even QSO
totals,
maybe I had 10-20 more than Paul.  After seeing this, I sure that Paul
thinks I have to stop using my "I'm not good at CW" crutch.

Only a mere 100W on all bands.  Maybe we'll have to do like the big boys
and run the monoband 8877's throttled back to 150W next time.  After
all,
it was much colder in the KS9K basement as compared to a normal contest.
Just think how much better we could have done with an extra 1.7609dB!!
Considering our 20M signal has to travel at least 300-400' from the
station,
we must have a weak signal on that band with all that feedline loss. 
:-)

Had six 6-banders!  K4AAA, K7SV, W4EF, AA3B, KA4RRU, and 1 other
(forgive me for 
not finding it if it was you).  35 5-banders.  Thanks to everyone who
QSY'd!!!!!!

Nothing spectacular on the rate.  K9PG's best hour was 75 on 80M.  I had
a
93 hour on 160.
