After another beautiful weekend on Mount Greylock we have come away with an all time record score! Band conditions were phenomenal during most of the contest with some very long lasting tropo. By the middle of the contest it was becoming very obvious that this was not a "normal" contest... the grids and Q's were piling up rapidly.

After it was all said and done the total score was over 3 million points and there was much celebration going on. What a year, first we see over 2M points in June and then this score beats that one! It was a pair of contests that will not quickly be forgotten!

Because of the amazing conditions during the contest the grid counts for 2m, 220, and 432 were huge this contest. In addition there was a 1050km QSO with W4DEX on 10GHz!

You can take a look at the gridmaps for the 144MHz, 220MHz, 432MHz, and 10GHz bands.
