Hello.

K0SHF asked me to mail our contest results to the list, so here goes.

Our claimed score was 4,732 as a Multi-Limted station. We had 3 ops, 2 
Sideband rigs (one running 6m and the other 2m and 440) and a 220 FM rig. 
The op not on a SSB rig would play armstrong rotor and handle the (very) 
occasional QSO on 220 FM.

Glen (KC0IYT) and I had participated for an afternoon in the June VHF 
contest. Our claimed score was ~250 points. Based on that (and 
inexperience) my personal goal for the weekend was 1,000 points. We easily 
beat that. While not a huge score I am satisfied with what we did.

We had fun and are talking about next time already. We won't have our same 
location again, so the main thing will be find a new site. One of our ops 
is looking at getting a 220 transverter and I am contemplating the 1.2 gig 
module for my Kenwood TS-2000.

- Jason, N0RPM
