Comments:

If you read my NAQP-CW report from last weekend you would have seen comments
about one of my K3s failing.  Well, a BIG THANKS goes out to Elecraft for a
SAME DAY response to my request for assistance.  The K3 was back on the air
by
last Monday night and ready for this weekend.  Try to get that response from
another Ham radio manufacturer!

This was a fun 12 hours.  We didn't really have any goals set before the
contest started, but because of the good early rates, we quickly set out
sites
at 2000 Qs and 500,000 points.  We missed both, but not by much.  Our usual
mults and rates on 75 and 160 were not there last night, especially in the
last
2 hours.  Perhaps due to the east coast location, but not sure.  We were on
target to reach both goals until 0400 UTC. Then slow motion set in.

We also had problems all day moving mults.  We certainly tried, but only a
few
stations moved, so that hurt our overall mult counts.

None the less, the team really came together and pushed hard and had a great
time.  Thanks to all for the Qs and hope to work everyone and more in next
weekends CQWW-160 CW.
