Comments:

Let me start by looking back over the past 4 years.  
I really missed the fun at Mike's (K5NZ, aka: W5NN)
and the M2 entry.   Oh well, time marches on.

This was my first NAQP from the new QTH.  Next 
time (not next week) I hope to say it was my first
NAQP from the new QTH with the new 
completed antenna farm and entering as M2.   The 
crew is actually here today working on the grading
and seeding.  

My start was less than exciting.  The little and low
A3 just could not do much on 15, and 20 was not
much better. I actually think it was more related
to not having multiple beams already pointed in the
various directions.  It was just too slow to rotate so
it just stayed WNW.  A big THANKS to the California
crew for making up 25% of my 15 and 20 mtr Qs.
As I don't have a 160 antenna yet - NO Qs there!

I never had any good long runs, with my high 10 
 minute rate topping out at 148 and my best 60
minute rate at 110.  Both were on 80 meters.  Not
bad, just not consistent.  
: 
 It was great to have 8P, V44, V31 and XE call in
for a few non-US / VE mults.

Oh well - I will give SSB a try next week.
