Comments:

We all had a very good time. The laughter, the food, the beer, the sleep over,
the party atmosphere made up for the the many things that went wrong.
  
1. The steppIR controller for the db18e quit working on 40m.  Fortunately a
SteppIR expert, k7edx, was here to take the box apart and find the problem.  How
many contest stations using SteppIR antennas are lucky enough to have a former
employee of the company in the house?  However, we lost about an hour of prime
time on 40.

2.  An amp went belly up.  We were able to replace it with an old Amp Supply
that ran about 800 watts.  That switch over cost us more q's.

3.  Then, k7btw made 49 ft8 q's using his own call, not the contest call.  Thank
goodness Brian caught it when he did.  That created a log mess because those q's
all had to be eliminated after the contest.

Oh well, the fun is what will be remembered.
