Some highlights/lowlights:
4X4NJ worked on 160
VK6HD worked on 80
9A1A could be heard 12 hours a day on 15m, mostly S-1
they were 1st QSO on 15m at 0000Z Friday night
we were hearing W6/W7 until 11 AM running JA on 40m
No t-storms but heard everyone else's!
Never worked a KG1
Off time 4+ hours Sunday morning zzzzz
160+80 were better, 40-20-15-10 worse than 1995
worked 705 prefixes on 20m alone
K000HT was a fun callsign to work
311 USA prefizes worked
Was planning to write an entertaining and educational story about our
efforts to insert in the report here. Time is not on my side...
We had a great time even with the expected bottom of sunspot cycle
conditions. Usually one station was "running" on 20 or 40, seldom both, and
any others (total of four were set up) were either empty or manned by some
dedicated operators listening to weak signals on 15, powerline noise on 10,
or static crashes on 80 and 160.
With three full timers and two part timers we ran out of gas and stations to
work around 0530z on Saturday night. So we gave up 50-100 QSOs so we could
all (three people overnight) get some sleep. Started up mostly refreshed at
around 10z and it was still slow.
All in all, no equipment failures (one TS850 had no ears at the start and we
pulled it) and it wasn't until Sunday that someone noticed we forgot to
insert the coax stubs and ICE filters (it helped on 15m).
Some operator notes:
K1TO did the traditional tower work during the hour before the contest
(realign top 20m beam), then relaxed at 100/hour on 20m.
W1OD makes a mean breakfast (meaner than I am), can make any cable in 60
seconds
KF2FB was smokin' on 80m and on many trips into the woods
KG1D says he worked another KG1 once many years ago, has lots of patience
finding those elusive 15m QSOs
