Comments:

We had some computer noise issues in WQP that I thought we had squared away. 
However when we began the contest near Iron Mountain, I had s7 hash.  N9NE said
I was 579 and I couldn't hear him calling.  Yikes!  
Unfortunately I hadn't brought along any torroids, but we took 20 minutes or so
and switched in and out the various torroids i already had on existing cables. 
I **Think** i got the noise down to s3 or so....not the best but it allowed us
to proceed.  Sorry to anyone i was an alligator to!

Friday night before the contest  N9BCA (my driver for 20+ years!) and I drove
up to my Michigan border cabin.  We were joined by Jim WI9WI who also was going
to run some counties Saturday.  We all had a nice northern Wisconsin Walleye
Fish Fry.

Unfortunately for Jim, he didn't feel well Saturday morning and ended up having
to drive back home instead of doing the contest.

Other than the noise issues, me and Art had another fun time driving around the
UP.  Our route back west takes us along the length of Lake Superior and through
many miles of National Forest.  Truly a beautiful route.

Each year me and Art threaten ourselves to drive down through Chicago and run
the contest from the SE corner of Michigan back up around into the UP so we can
do more than our handful of 14 BIG counties.  Then we come to our senses and
decide to enjoy the beauty and fun of our annual trip up Nort!

Hopefully we will be back next year!

Scott NE9U and Art N9BCA
