The best I could come up with is 860 points. I have submitted the information via email. We will have more information at the monthly meeting.

Thanks again to all who worked on this.

I have seen a lot of low scores being submitted this year. The situation was not unique to our set-up and operations. We will build on what we have learned and modify the plan for next year. Hopefully I will be able to spend more time in the chair calling CQ next year.

I'll do my best to get my gear sorted out too. We probably should have changed the south antenna to a plain inverted V or tried the OCF dipole approach or something. The loop on that one was just too small, especially for the band conditions. Having a radio making PSK contacts all night would have really helped. Sorry I dropped the ball on that part.

As noted, we'll do better next time.

There's a new "portable" version of a HEXBEAM that folds up and sets up quickly. It also can be turned with a TV antenna rotor. This would be something to consider next year.

I also still have the full length OCF and the R5 to use next year.

Oh.....I should be available next year too!!!!!!
