ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


K5QE Limited Multi-Operator: Operators K5QE, N5YA, VE3WY, N5NU, KN5O, N1XS, AE5VB, N5KDA, K5AIH, N5YA, KE5VKZ This was the worst Jan contest that we have ever had.  Except for 2M EME propagation was awful.  We did have a new record for us on 2M...we had a total of 111 grids on 2M.  We did not make a single 6M Es contact. Wedid have good luck with 6M meteor scatter.  222 and 432 sucked.

KX7L SO3B: Lots of domestic activities kept me away from the rig, espcially Saturday afternoon, but still had lots of fun.  Seemed to be a lot of new local calls on, which is encouraging. No Es on 6, but still lotsof fun. My new 432 Quagi got a good workout!

The greatest thing about this contest was all the (other) rovers around the Pacific Northwest.  They were everywhere.  The weather was great--if a little warm--all weekend.  The equipment worked well.  Nothing broke.  Fun!

VE7DAY SOHP BC: LOTS OF THANKS TO THE ROVERS.
