Comments:

It was so nice to have everyone back together again for a Goat Farm M/M.

Things were not 100% due to a few surprises, but most things worked very well.
The blower in the 160 amp sounded like it had been working in a quarry crushing gravel during the Covid lull. Working on getting another blower installed by the weekend.

A few of those who were going to join us for the weekend, unfortunately were ill with and were absent. None of it was Covid related.

Could not get the submissions to the on-line scoreboard working until late in the contest, so that was a bit of disappointment. A second log-in attempt with a lower case 'nr4m' was the culprit.

Got to prepare our Contest Chili and plenty of 'Burgers and Brats' (with
sauerkraut) Saturday afternoon.

Our new 80 meter, tune-at-the-last-minute 3 ele delta loop array worked quite well. K7SV said it felt like the old one.

Really nice to hear familiar calls not heard in a while. And, the friendly competition is always enjoyed.

Thanks for the Q's, everyone.

73 de Steve, NR4M, and the Goat Farm gang
