[CQ-Contest] Armadillo Reunion Wrapup

[Tom Taormina]

The Great Armadillo Reunion is history and was a resounding success. 
37 TDXS members, rowdies and friends gathered in Virginia City, NV 
last weekend to share old stories and renew old friendships. We did a 
tribute to Jim White, K4OJ, who was the only one to work all Texas 
Counties in the 1983 Armadillo Run. That tribute was led by his mom, 
W1YL. We also conducted the K5LZO memorial BBQ on Sunday.

Field Day was operated as K7A (Kill Seven Armadillos) and the old 
gang managed to crank out 3,000 QSO's. Keeping with the tradition of 
this group, we broke new ground by operating the entire weekend on 
biodiesel fuel, to claim "natural power" for the entire event.

A few photos are posted on the web site,

1960's. If you want a copy, send $10 to K5RC, PO Box 1126, Virginia
