DE K7SV:
It sure was fun doing diddles in a M/M setting with the gang from the Goat
Farm in the CQWPX RTTY contest.
We kind of thought that with the flux dropping to 99 the high bands may suffer,
but ten seemed good to Eur Saturday and even better Sunday.
Pile-ups on 15, Saturday and Sunday mornings, were incredible.
With Eur being decent on 80, it seems like it was a great compromise
propagation-wise.

The station played well with a few minor glitches.
The guys, especially N3ZV, did a terrific job in the wee hours of the
morning. Even the old goat himself (Steve) managed to remain awake for the
entire first 24 hours of the contest.
N1MM played flawlessly for the entire weekend.
We had a little problem with snow static for a while Saturday afternoon,
otherwise wx was great for contesting (cold).
Thanks to all for the Qs.
And thanks to Steve and Caroline for the hospitality once again.
