Fantastic.
Many thanks to everybody who took part.

Bands worked: 80 meters, 20 meters and 15 meters. Roger worked Australia on 80 meters.

This in spite of zero sunspots and a Solar Flux between 69 and 71 (we also had no flares/magnetic storms which was a big plus).

ARRL contest Results

Here is how we finished the ARRL DX contest:
229 QSOs
62 Multipliers
Grand score: 42594
The majority of the activity was on 20 meters with a few on 15 meters. The MUF hovered between 20 and 15 meters over the weekend permitting a few openings on 15 meters. Pretty good considering the solar cycle is so quiet (in our favor we didn't have to content with solar flares/magnetic storms to knock out the bands. The Yeasu FT101ZD and the FL2100 amp got a good workout.
