Comments:

Although I've been a ham since 1969, this was my second SS and first time
hosting.  Call me a late bloomer.  Despite all the best-laid plans, Murphy's
Law kicked in early as we had problems with the beam for 40,20,15 & 10 meters. 
Ron W8RJL was great.  While we operated on 80, he constructed and erected a
40/20 meter fan dipole and had us back up and running on those bands in no
time.  We could not get through the pileup for EWA and never heard NT.  I was
surprised at the lack of activity on 160 the few times I tuned down there.

All in all, had a great time.  I'll post some pictures at www.W4XQ.com later
for anyone interested.
