Comments:
Kudos to Don-AA5AU and Bryon-W7RIV. Don led the way with BIC-time and QSOs,
making more than half of all Qs. Bryon, newest member of the W4AAW team braved
being thrown into the deep end of the pool. Thanks also to Jim-W4TMO for his
kind Elmering.
Very high noise levels greeted us at the start, along with highly aggravating
QSB. Then, Mother Nature layed on a two-hour long, severe thunderstorm. After
the storm passed, it felt like it does when you quit banging your head against
the wall.

W4AAW (*) was in the shack for this one.
Additional thanks go to AA5AU for sharing his vast RTTY experience and setting
up the operating positions with two and even three decoders (MMTTY, GRITTY
& 2Tone). Big improvement.
Rowland, K4XD has done a masterful job at setting up our scheduling. People
showed up! (Ninety percent of success is just showing up! ..Woody Allen)
We planned this as a "practice" contest in order to deal with the
unfamiliarity some ops feel in remote operating.
Our two audio apps performed flawlessly as did the web connections and the Asus
VPN router. Special thanks to Rick-N1RM and his VPN Update App. No more
system/network bogging down.
Finally, and sincerely, thanks to all for the mults and Qs. There would not be
a contest without you.
