Thanks to Bill and Lori again for sharing their home and great station for this
year’s running of the contest.  Bill added a K3 to the station and we used
that for a number of the runs during the contest.  We were visited by Murphy a
few times over the weekend with some erratic SWRs on the 80 Meter Rotatable
Dipole and with the Station 1 computer having some delay problems that we have
not encountered in the past.  John, K5VG, was able to operate with us this year
and that helped out a lot with the operating schedule.

The 10 Meter EU opening was much better on Sunday and 20 Meters just kept going
and going both days.  15 Meters, while good was not as hot as we had hoped for. 
The M2 Category is very competitive and the W4RM Team continues to push to stay
in the running.  Thanks for all the Qs and we’ll see everyone in two weeks
for the phone contest.

73, Jack W4NF (W4RM's older/wiser brother)
