Comments:

Another one in the books.

Enjoyed the good propagation on most bands.  Really kept things hopping.

Never enough operators.  One night time op had to go home sick, another canceled on Friday, and two could only put in 3 hours each, which made things kinda 'thin' at times.  This was especially true with two first time operators.

  But, overall, this kind of operator shortage was expected with this family holiday weekend.  Always a tough weekend for ops.

We still have a ways to go in getting 2 stations on all band. 

The only one setup like that is 40.  Sure makes getting mults a challenge while running.

MAYBE by ARRL DX we will have 2 stations on 20 and 15... maybe...

** Special Kudos to Larry, K7SV, for his 'strong man' effort on 80 meters.

This was about 99% him. **

The stuff we do have worked amazingly well, so that was a good thing.

Thanks for all the Q's

73 de Steve, NR4M and the whole Goat Farm gang
