Wow, what a ride! As stated elsewhere, condx on low bands were not very good.
Condx on 15M were the best I have ever seen- the 4 el played and played, at
least on Saturday (2200 Qs in 11 hrs). The flare SatPM/Sun AM hurt everyone-
on Sat we heard from some Europeans that we were 30dB over S9, on Sunday those
same Europeans told us we were S5. Try as we might, that S5 just couldn't get
us a run going until midday Sunday. Oh, well....
Our pre-contest goals were 10,000 QSOs and 15 Meg. We just missed the QSO
total (or made it if you include dupes) and just made the score total. Those
projections were also done with two caveats- that we had a working network, and
that we had packet spots. We never did get the packet spots, but the network
(wired from camper to camper) was instrumental in adding to the team spirit and
in passing stations! Thanks to all those that moved, whether for a point or a
mult.
A special thanks has to go to our 60 cycle man- Ray, VE3HAE. He devised the
power grid we used, kept the generators happy with gas and oil, and maintained
everything for 4 days straight so that the contest operation went without a
hitch.
See you all next year, maybe again from frigid zone 2.
