Comments:

Going in we had pretty much planned to operated only 12 hours from Roanoke 
Island, NC. W1F stands for Wright's first flight to celebrate 100 years since 
the Wright Brother's did their first gliding experiements in this area.

We had a very slow start do to several very minor problems but in the afternoon 
Brent and I got things cooking pretty well. We had a two-element delta loop at 
10 feet off the ground fixed at Europe and played very well. The last four 
hours of the contest our rate was averaging 100 and the peak was at 150 in an 
hour.

We were stationed in an old communicatios trailer for the Civil Air Patrol at 
the Dare County Regional Airport. The winds were tremendous when we set 
everything up on Friday afternoon. The weather was perfect on Saturday. We 
didn't even run the AC!

At 0000 zulu Brent and I decided to pull out...That was a tough decision to 
make because we were have really good runs at that point. We didn't want to 
kill ourselves.

73,


Nate/N4YDU
