It nice to have Jim W4PRO join us from the Tidewater area again and it was a
pleasure to have Peter K3ZM from Charlottesville join us. They did a terrific
job on 160 and 40 respectively. We had storms pass just to the northwest of us
most of Friday night, but the low band ops made the best of it. The four two
direction beverages really made a difference! It's always a blast to spend a
weekend with the regular crew as well.

NR4Ms neighbor Ben is actually the owner of the goats that are moved around the
farm for grazing. Yes, there actually are goats on the goat farm! I saw one
standing on the top of Bens pickup Friday afternoon. During the contest weekend
Ben had 50 of 70 relatively young hens disappear. We typically eat well at the
farm, but honest, we didn't have any chicken over the weekend sherrif!

Thanks to the Bookouts for allowing us to spend the weekend chasing electrons
on their farm. From the contest crew, congrats to Steve's daughter Jennifer who
graduated from college Saturday.
