Comments:

It has been two years since we had a group together for a M/S IARU entry. This was not the first time we all operated together, but it was our first M/S and definitely with IARU very limiting rules. We usually operate Multi-two and enjoy the more flexible band change capability. None the less, we had a fun and productive 24 hours but based on our score compared with the Ken s PVRC team (KE3X at N3HBX), we have a few things to learn. These include when to run vs S/P, when to make the change to a less active band to optimize the mults even though the 10 minute band change limit is for sure going to create a big rate issue and the limitations of not being able to have an in band multiplier
radio.   Ken and team, GREAT JOB!

But contesting is not rate alone. We had a fun weekend and with 4 ops there was plenty of off air time to catch up with each other, enjoy some refreshing drinks and food and stay out of the extremely hot weather. What a great excuse for not mowing the lawn!

Thanks to everyone that participated for helping increase our Q and mult count as well as for the occasional repeat.

How about adding a M2 class?
