[PaQSO] N3KAE Bonus Station Prelim

[Al Zelna]

The KQX Group had its share of issues during the test as well.  A
Tri-Bander that went south, a 40m vertical that "got RFI'd" by a
plasma TV, my neighbor's cow field electric fence, an Op that left on
Saturday evening with flu-like symptoms, and of course the misery of
an SFI-A-K combo that rocketed out of control Sunday.  The food was
great, the conversations were stellar, and the opportunity to be the
Bonus Station.... priceless!  We provided as much as possible with the
combination of circumstances that "Murphy-ed" us along the way.

160m-40m band/modes.  That left 775 points (33.6%) for the 20m-2m
band/modes... heavily weighted on 20m
