NEW USA M/M RECORD!

Ed, K1TR graciously helped out on Saturday and Sunday on 20m and on
the spotting radio setup. We would have had a real rough time without
his help. Thanks Ed!
As usual, Matt's XYL, Christine, provided moral support and food
throughout the contest. She is as much a part of the team as our
operators, and so we list her as an "operator" to highlight the
significance of her involvement. She is quite amazing.
