Comments:

When things come together as they did at the Goat Farm (NR4M) over the weekend, the investment in time, building the station, begins to pay off! We had a terrific crew who really pounded the bands and had a huge amount of fun in the process! About the only problems we had were with computer generated cw and
controlled keyers. The station held up well and performed equally well.

A lot of folks have contributed to whatever successes we've had from NR4M. That
includes the unsung heroes who don't necessarily operate with us, but have
certainly helped with various forms of construction.
