I don't have any feelings pro or con on having multiple ops on a band except FT4/8.? But I should say that, on multiple occasions when I had time to operate,? my 1st or 2d choice slot for CW had been taken so I found something else to do.??? I did have a problem with a duplicate op this morning on 15 FT8 although my call was in the 10-11 am cell. ? I have never heard so many weak stations on cw as I have this week...? Upon completion I will send adif files with my call sign for easy reference.

First, thank you to all who have been operating tirelessly to field the huge volume of contacts this year.
Special shout-out to Chip, N2YO, who apparently operated all night ... at 35 wpm, last night!? Unbelievable.

Question for the group.
It's a tradition that the final day is a free-for-all, meaning each colony can have more than one op on a band, same mode, at the same time; no rules really.
Except not for digital modes, as that would be too confusing (right, digi ops?)

I don't care for this; other states field many folks and it really clogs the bands, but I have not been able to convince the boss to stop it.

What do K2B team members think?? Would appreciate any thoughts.
I suppose ultimately it will be whatever each individual wants to do.

Also, after the event is over, I'd appreciate if you could email me your log in adif or Cabrillo format, at your earliest convenience.?
I will summarize and circulate K2B results as well as 13 Colonies overall summary.
Then we'll talk about K2B bling.

Many thanks,

David, K2WPM
