Thanks to all team members for making the trip to the DL0WW station, entering
M/S was a real short time decision this year! It is always a major task to
set up a 3-radio station just before the contest, and we are glad how
everything turned out.

There are no stacks or additional antennas for a second direction, so the
rotors got a real workout this weekend!

We came real close to the existing DL record (2.68M) but condx were not good
enough to get some substantial runs on 15m.  But we were thrilled to see
10m open for a few minutes on Sunday.

We were working hard for QTCs and finally passed the 2000-QTC-line with a nice
safety margin.  Thanks to all DX stations for taking their time!

Congrats to our EU M/S competition for turning in a great effort as well and
thanks to DARC for sponsoring the best CW contest of the year!
