Comments:

We were missing three people from our usual complement of operators. We had a
grand time from Moses Lake, Washington. Before the contest we had to use a
heater to thin the lubricant in the crank up tower gearbox to get it to work.
Band conditions seemed pretty darned good, we stayed on 20m on Saturday evening
until almost 8pm local. That might have hurt us, but hey, it sure was fun. The
electrical noise has increased over the years, making lower-frequency operation
more challenging from here. Seems like there were more schools on, might be nice
to incent that more for this contest. We ran this contest with one radio and two
antennas. One team member left a crucial box of gear containing all of the
bandpass filters and the 2nd K3 at home, only realizing it after we drove 180
miles; didn't have an opportunity to try our new lockout - OOPS. 

Thanks for all of the contacts. We appreciated hearing familiar calls, and look
forward to reading the stories on 3830. One of our team members went to 3830
after the contest, but was only able to drum up interest from one other station
to exchange scores. Mike K7IR would like to revive 3830 as a post-contest chat
frequency.
