Comments:

With the declining solar conditions, and the unavoidable large 20m 
pileups on mobile stations, I decided this was the year for us to start 
running high power in FQP, and forget about the 2x LP multiplier.  It 
turned out to be a good choice to reduce our frustration, albeit at the 
expense of a lower score than previous years.

Special thanks to NF4A, who deserves some sort of mobile award.  He was 
always willing to QSY to 15m in most counties, and then to SSB for the 
mult.  We even tried 10m a couple of times, but were unsuccessful at 
making a QSO there.  All the QSYs to 15m probably didn't help his 
overall QSO total much, but they certainly kept those of us on the west 
coast interested in the contest.  15m was solidly open for most of the 
contest from W6.

The mobiles in FQP really carry a heavy load to activate the 67 
counties.  Some of the 20m mobile pileups on Sunday were unbelievable.

See you in the California QSO Party on October 1-2!
