Anyway, we were able to put together two full 10-person teams. Some of the team members were old hands at contesting, and for some, it was their first entry. Because we're all QRP ops, we knew up front there was no chance of us winning the team competition, so it was all for pure fun and to show the QRO guys that we aren't afraid of jumping in on the action!
The teams were formed randomly with two exceptions. One team was led by Ron and one by me, and the other exception was to ensure that the father/son duo of K1RID/KC1CMF were on different teams...to generate a little inter-family rivalry!
Here are the teams, along with their reported scores:
