Well, unfortunately this year was not very fortunate for "humans against 
machine" run in Dayton. According to my observations, Doug W9WI (the closest 
among "humans" to beat "the machine") did not have enough beers before the 
pile-up competition, and Doug, K1TO showed up too late to be included in 
official scores.
Your truly was typing with broken finger (X-ray made after the Dayton showed 
serous fracture...)...
Otherwise your Skimmer would suck big time (same as last year!) :-)))
