Comments:

Fun contest to operate.  Can't remember when the low bands were so 
quiet, but the addition of the beverages were a great help.  Couldn't
seem to get a much of a run going on 10 or 20 mtrs, but 15 mtrs was 
great.  JA's runs were impossible had to S&P for those stations.
It seemed the multipliers were not around, so we are still seeking
to break the 2 Meg. mark.

In the middle of the contest I had 2 daughters break out with the
Chicken Pox and had to help relieve the XYL.  This only put more
of a load on W9IU.  We are still looking for a few good men...
Thanks to Green Acres Golf Course for allowing the beverage
antenna's.  All in all had a great time and can't wait until the next contest!

73's,
