Well this was my first Multi-Multi effort. My main goal was to get
some new operators on the air and show them what a VHF contest is
like. I was very surprised! After a couple hours QRV both Amber,
KC9FVW and Dave, KC9FQD were acting like pros. They quickly learned
the benefit of passing mults and strategies of maximizing their QSO
rate. Darrell, K9AIH was the 432 operator and Dave, N9TTX joined us
midway through the contest after his rotor started smoking. N9TTX was
in charge on 222, 902, and 1296. KB9QGL tagged along with KB9PJL and
supplied us with some 10Ghz QSO's. I thought the bands were pretty
good and near the end of the contest there was some tropo to MI, OH,
IN, and EM26.  KB8U and K9EA both in EN71 were worked on 144 and 222.
W9ZIH EN51 was worked through 1296 along with K2DRH (EN41) and K2YAZ
(EN74) For the first time we finally got KM0T (EN13) and K0AWU (EN37)
on 1296 !! It was nice hearing so much activity and thanks to all of
the rovers for keeping the bands alive. CU in the next test!
