SOAB HP - operating time 16 hours
Claimed score: 506x99 = 50,094

IC756 proII + homebrew 4CX250 PA - 500W
Optibeam OB6-3M (2el/bd) @12m (40feet) //  inv-V dipoles @18m (60feet)
Software: N1MM Logger V4.0.181 - MMTTY 1.65 - SO1R
(my usual modest domestic station)

The facts:
Back home for this one...
Very poor "after dark" conditions.
7Mhz seems to have been the most affected band with very few stations and low
level of signals.
Very few JA's on 21, but band has been OK toward states...
14 has been the most reliable band, but closed too early.
Made my best rates on 3.5, as the band was still virgin for me 3 hours b4 the
end.
Thought I could pass 100 mults, but the last few hours have been very
unproductive.

My opinion:
The mults calcultation does not encourage activity on difficult bands (28/3.5).
Too few mults to make active mult-hunting attractive and too few participants
to make extended "runs" fun (pile would dry after 10mn!)... a bit boring a the
end!
Thanks all for Q's and to the N1MM team, for releasing the contest module.
Tnx all for Q's - CU soon in another one...
