Comments:

What a fun contest this could have been.  Unfortunately, it was not to be.
Two of the four team members were unable to participate due to illness.  One
of them was me. I did not want to call off the MultiOp weekend but it was
the right health move to make.

So, I ended up with some on the air time but nothing during real prime time.
I shut down on Friday night at 11pm local (0300 UTC) and at 12pm (0400 UTC)
on Saturday night.  Based on the band conditions I did get to enjoy and the
other reports I read lots of great Qs, mults and score were left on the
table.  I did manage to get one JA in the log on Saturday morning around
0730 local (1130 UTC).

Hopefully there is always next year with even more improved conditions. 

One thing I did notice with my limited time on the air was that the signals
with bad key clicks seemed to be up this year. It sure is too bad that some
of the big name manufacturers just can not get it right.

Thanks for the Qs and limited fun.  Oh yes - where is Alaska?  The AK mult
was between me and the WAS, which over the years I just seem to assume will
happen.
