     Started 15 min late fixing autoexec.bat in Randy's machine (my fault 
from CQP)
     Did OK, but missed 80 M.  Somehow, the delta loop became a 6:1 swr load 
without
     anybody noticing until it was needed.

     Sounds like we should do a better job of preparation next year.

     Got home at 0730 Z and turned the TV to ESPN 1.  I guess they were 
having some
     kinda troubles because the only audio on was CW.  It decoded to WQN3 
then a
     bunch of 3 numeral groups and then ESPN.  Just what I needed to hear 
after 500
     Q's was 25 wpm cw on my tv!

     I see that NCCC is following RCC's lead in M/S operation as way to 
increase
     club scores.  Unfortunatly,  they seemed to have done a better job than 
K6RCC
     did.  My hat is off to you guys.
