    Comments:  Best thing: hitting a 48 hour window without rain,
not an easy thing to do this year!   We do FD in the start setup
at 1800Z Saturday mode; we were on the air in about 10 minutes
with a 40 meter inverted vee.  We used all wire antennas except
for the 8L yagi for 2M CW/SSB.  (Ground planes of SO-239/#12 wire
for 2/440 FM).
 
The Stars:         K8MR KU8E WD8LLD
Supporting Cast:   KE8QM N8XPL W9OCF
 
Personal highlights:  
 
K8MR:  Getting the last 10 QSO rate meter to 338 and the 100 QSO 
rate past 180 on 40 SSB Sunday morning, and the first 6M QSO, CY0AA.
 
KU8E:  Finally getting the satellite QSOs at 2000Z Sunday
afternoon, and working K3ZO on 2 meter SSB.
 
WD8LLD:  Getting to come out of the closet to operate SSB without
having to let anyone know it's him.
