WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SPEND MOST OF MY 75TH BIRTHDAY; OF COURSE TOOK OFF TIME 4PM
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR A FAMILY ZOOM GET TOGETHER. THE XYL AND MY 3
GRANDDAUGHTERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL AS MY TWO SONS- VERY FINE CELEBRATON
INDEED. MY WIFE BEING BORED WITH ME CONTESTING, BAKED THREE DIFFERENT CAKES-
FROZE MOST OF IT WHEN I CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS IN PERSON.  NOW TO THE CONTEST: i
HAD THE HONOR TO PUT THE SMITHSONIAN AMATEUR RADIO CLUB CALL ON FOR THE CONTEST.
HAD SO MANY FOLKS STOOP ME AND CHAT ABOUT THEIR VISITS TO THE OLD STATION AND
HOW GREAT IT WAS TO HEAR THE OLD CALLSIGN ON THE CONTEST. 
STARTED AND STAYED WITH 40 UNTIL 0200 SATURDAY EVENING. EVEN THOUGH RATES WERENT
GREAT, I AMMASSED MOST OF THE 51 MULITPLIERS ON 40 DURING THAT INITIAL PERIOD.
STAYED ON 75 UNTIL 0800Z  WITH GREAT RATES EARLY IN THE EVENING- LATE NIGHT
OPEARTING PAYED OFF GETTING MOST OF THE 21 MULTIPLIERS DURING THAT PERIOD. 
OPERATED 20 ON SUNDAY FOR AWHILE , UNABLE TO RUN, AND PICKED UP BULK OF  6 20M
MULITPLIERS. WITH WIRE ANTENNA, 160 METER LOOP , 80 WAS DEFINITE MONEY BAND
BECAUSE WE ALL HAD SO MUCH REAL ESTATE TO USE AND THE CONDITIONS WERE SUPERB. 
NICE TO SEE SOME NEW LICENSEES WHO I WELCOMED TO SSB CONTESTING AT IT'S BEST. 
THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PVRC'ers WHO SPOTTED ME AND CHECKED IN. COULDNT KEEP
ACCURATE COUNT- BUT OTHER STATIONS RELATED TO ME THAT THEY WERE GETTING
INNUNDATED WITH MDC STATIONS- GO PVRC - HOPE WE DID GREAT. CONGRATULATIONS TO
N1LN, KD4D , W3IDT AND OTHERS ( THE LATTER TWO AT LPL'S ) FOR SUPERB EFFORT ON
BEHALF OF THE CLUB. THIS WAS MOST FUN I HAVE HAD ON A SSB CONEST IN A VERY LONG
TIME.  Happy Thanksgiving to all, Stay Safe Stay Well   73  Phil
