Comments:

 

What a fun weekend.  Once again the Jack, Dan, Bert and Bruce team came
together

to see what we could do. It was much appreciated to have a very quiet band
on

Friday night with reasonable conditions into Europe that resulted in adding
42

DX QSOs to the log.  31 were EU, 10 SA and 1 JA.  There was some QRN to deal

with Saturday night, but the conditions to Europe were much better. We added

another 73 on Saturday night that included 72 EU and 1 SA. From a domestic

viewpoint we missed and did not hear PR, MB and NT.  We expected not to hear

NT, but where were PR and MB?  When the counting was over we were able to

increase out points per QSO to 2.23.  Much better than last year, but 2010
is

still in the lead.

 

As always one of the high points in our Multi-Op weekends is enjoying a
visit

from Chef Archie.  He put together a home made vegetable beef soup that was
to

die for.  This was not just soup, but a culinary delight that demanded just
the

right bottle of red wine to accompany it.

 

Look for us to be back for CQWW-160.

 

73,
