I got on for a bit under two hours to hand out some points and
generate another log. I hope nobody is humbled by my score! At
least I could easily calculate it in my head....

Band     Q's    Q Points    Grids
   50      6         6         2
  144     11        11         3
  222      4         8         1
  446(FM)  7        14         2
-----------------------------------
Total    28        39         8

Total Score = 312,000E-3 ;)

Antennas used, Comet CX-333 (2m,220, 70cm) Butternut HF-2V(!) 6m
Radios used, FT-890 (IF for TenTec 2m and DEMI 220 transverters)
              TM-V707 70cm FM
              IC-551 6m (W0ZQ's old radio)

Highlights:

First contest Q's on the classic 6m radio.
W9FZ/R hearing my 8w polarity challenged call in EN25
Bumping into a few old friends since my inactivity has kept me away
Not having to comment on the poor conditions since I couldn't tell ;)

ARRL already has the log with the club name correct. I have to admit
at first I didn't like the Cabrillo concept, now it is pretty cool!
