ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

K5QE Multi-Unlimited - STX - EM31 - Operators: K5QE, N1XS K5AIH K5MQ N5KDA

4 PNW Grids Worked: CN82 CN87 CN89 DN17
This was the worst September contest that I have ever seen, except for the one when Hurricane Ike came roaring through here.
The Bands were absolutely terrible for the entire contest.  NO Es, NO tropo, NO meteors, NO stations.  Other than that, it was great.

VE7DXG Multi-Unlimited - BC - CN88 - Operators: VE7DUI VE7DXG VE7HHS

WW7D/R Rover-Limited - WWA - 10 Grids Activated: CN76 CN77 CN78 CN84 CN85 CN86 CN87 CN88 CN97 CN98

AL1VE/R Rover-Limited - WWA - 3 Grids Activated: CN77 CN78 CN87
Limited operation this time around. No openings on 6 meters and  not much other propagation to speak of on the higher bands.  Activity seemed lower this year, but it's always hard to compete against football on Saturday and Sunday.

VE7FYC Single-Op Low - BC - CN89
This was my first time entering the September VHF Contest with 10 GHz. Made 2 QSOs on 10 GHz with VE7DXG AND KD7TS/R. Band condition for 6M was somewhat strange. No Sporadic E openings. At one point had to turn up the power to 80 watts to QSO with a station less than 100 miles away. 2M opening into CN85 and CN95 did not make appearance until the last few hours of the contest. I am looking forward to next year's contest season.

K7HPT/R Rover - EWA - Operators: K7HPT W7OE - 5 Grids Activated: DN07 DN08 DN16 DN17 DN18

KI7JA Single-Op High - OR - CN85
Unusual conditions for this contest.  I was limited to 6M and 2M only, but had short E openings to Colorado and SW Idaho.  This was a fun contest even though I was limited.

K7MDL/R Rover - WWA - 2 Grids Activated: CN87 CN97

AD7DR Single-Op Low - WWA - CN88
In the beamwidth of VE7DXG. Need more selectivity! WW7LW running 1/2 watt on north side of Mt. Rainier; 126 miles LOS S3!

VE7DAY/R Rover-Limited - BC - 3 Grids Activated: CN79 CO60 CO70
Great AU the night before the contest but no DX from CO60 during the contest.

VE7BQQ/R Rover - BC - 3 Grids Activated: CN79 CN88 CN89
