Operators: Stan WA0Z, Matt KB0LBA, Neal KD0MBL, Andy ND0P,Joyce K0JJW, Bob K0NR. Most of the contacts were made using club call K0YB. Neal operated 6M and HF under his call KD0MBL.

The weather forecast was not very encouraging, but in the end weather was not an issue. Some clouds moved in but we saw no thunderstorms. We were active on 20M, 15M, 10M, 6M, 2M, 70cm. It was a good day for HF and we were pleased with the propagation and contacts made. We made quite a few contacts on 70cm with stations working the UHF contest.

Best DX on HF was KV4CF in St Croix, US Virgin Islands
Best DX on 2M was Chad N0YK in Western Kansas
Best DX on 70cm was Dwayne WA7KYM in Cheyenne, WY

Here's the count on number of contacts and 14ers:
