We just kept plugging away with poor conditions, 10dB over S9 static
crashes, and ultra-low rate until 10z when the band began to open east
of the Mississippi. Then it started to get fun.

Thanks to Ken, KH7R, our good friend and host. 
And thanks to N6TR and the RAT-pack, for sponsoring this event. 
Since we're distance challenged in every contest we enter from here,
it's nice to have at least one with a more level playing field.
