Taty and I decided to shoot for a top-ten score in the Minnesota Multi-Op
category.  Only one QSO would have given us third place...   So, check off
our first goal as accomplished!  Another goal marked as accomplished was
giving Taty her first experience using FT8/FT4.

Saturday afternoon had much better conditions than any time on Sunday.   We
only got on 2 meters for the last hour of the contest.  The mast for the
Yagis is just spinning in the rotator, so there wasn't much chance of
working anyone on 2 meters unless the antenna happened to be pointed in the
right direction.  But 2 meters did give us enough QSOs to get us over the
100 mark.
