Comments:

While expecting not-too-good conditions, we though we should enter the
multi-multi category so all operators could get some reasonable time in the
chair. This proved right, since conds definitely did not exceed our
expectations,- rather on the contrary.
Not many positive surprises this time, but fun anyhow.
Thank you all for calling us !

Comments:

Using an eight characters long callsign was a challenge. We had to repeat and
met a lot of patience from other competitors. And we received many
congratulations.
NRRL celebrates its 90th anniversary this year, so we will stick to our four
characters LA4C next year.
Rig was a IC-7700 with SPE Expert linear. Antennas: Vertical deltaloop for 160,
dipole for 80, K1AW array for 40, 6 el logyagi for 20 and a Mosley A3 for 20, 15
and 10. The logyagi would not turn after the storm Saturday. It ended up in
direction North America.
