WHAT A GREAT CONTEST WITH GREAT CONDITIONS.  SATURDAY NIGHT PROVIDED MORE
EUROPEANS THAN FRIDAY NIGHT.  WE HAD A BEVERAGE SWITCHING BOX ISSUE FRIDAY NIGHT
IN THE SECOND HOUR WITH OUR WESTERN BEVERAGE AND HAD TO SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT
TRANSCEIVER/SWITCHING BOX AND RE-SETUP THE CONTEST ON DIFFERENT COMPUTER THEN WE
FOUND OUT OUR EASTERN BEVERAGE HAD COMPLETELY FAILED.  THE EASTERN BEVERAGE WAS
REPAIRED SATURDAY MORNING AFTER 160 CLOSED.  WE MAY HAVE LOST A FEW AFRICAN
CONTACTS FRIDAY NIGHT.  EARLIER IN THE WEEK WE RE-STRUNG THE NORTH EAST AND
SOUTH BEVERAGES WHICH WERE HANGING LOW BECAUSE OF FALLEN DEAD BRANCHES ACROSS
THEM!  THE INVERTED "L" TRANSMIT ANTENNA WITH THIRTY SEVEN, 75 FOOT
RADIALS DID AND AMAZING JOB BEING DRIVEN WITH ONLY A PAIR OF OLD 813 TUBES!!
 
ALL THE OPERATORS HAD A GREAT TIME WORKING BOTH DX AND DOMESTIC CONTACTS AND THE
FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AS ALWAYS  THIS IS PROBABLY AN ALL TIME RECORD ON 160 FOR
THIS STATION. 

WE THANK ALL WHO CAME BACK TO US AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AGAIN.

73, FROM OUR CREW, WA3EKL KB3VQC WT3K K6ZO K3MYI K3MTR N3DPB
