[CQ-Contest] Remembering the BEST TIMES at Multi-Multi Operations.....

[Bob Naumann]

Jeff,

You're right about good times at multi-ops!

There are so many, I don't know where to start.  

One of the things about multi-ops is that they have unique personality, a
"team" spirit, especially when the same guys operate together for a while.
When you do that, little things happen that become very funny - but
sometimes they are a "you had to be there" thing.

N2NC just reminded me of a time at N2RM's in 1992 where we sang a song to
start the CQWW SSB contest.  Yes, we sang a song.  It was a parody of the
Patty Duke TV show theme, written by the eloquent & prolific N2NT
contrasting N2RM with his twin brother N8DM.  It is a classic.  "Here's
Dickie who lives in Michigan who works DX, now and again...But they're
brothers, identical brothers..." and so on.  Perhaps Andy can provide all
the lyrics.

Hopefully, hearing some of the stories will encourage others to do
multi-ops.  Operators have been in short supply for multi's in some areas.

73,
Bob N5NJ

Hi Gang

All the recent messages posted this week about W7RM's passing caused me to
stop and reflect on some of the best (and funniest moments) I have shared at
various multi-multi operations - and those related venues where many of us
were gathered together.

If not too far afield, and if blessed by those who provide this facility, I
would like to propose that we liven things up for a few weeks on this
reflector
- by each of us relating a story or two of what they enjoyed or remembered
best from their time spent while operating at a contesting multi-multi or
multi-single operation.  I am thinking now of a funny story or anecdote that
might be shared over this reflector as a vehicle to share with others the
good times we have undoubtedly shared together while in a DX contest, Dx
pedition or whatever.  I can think of quite a few stories that tickled my
funny bone - and I'll be pleased to lead of fwith two that were "classics"
for me:

<SNIP>

And so it went - there's alot more about this operation that was CLASSIC -
but I will save that stuff for another day...

So how about it?  What kind of memories do YOU have out there?  Care to
share some of those GOOD TIMES with the rest of us?

And thanks to K1KI for allowing this thread to take place - I hope you
enjoyed my memories.

This was a GOOD time and I'll always remember this operation.
