Hello all:

When I re-read my message, I felt that my comment "there was wall-to-wall 
QRM, worse than in CQWW or ARRL DX" could be misunderstood. It was actually 
great to hear that many kids on, just very difficult to pick out the 
information. The "worse" should have gone in quotes. I like the comparison 
someone made to "bumper cars". Describes it very well. You have fun, get 
bumped, laugh and move on. I think one problem was that kid's voices have a 
higher pitch than what most of us are used to, so they were more difficult 
to zero-beat on. I know that we called off-frequency a couple of times.

Thanks to everyone we worked, and apologies to everyone who heard us CQ 
that we couldn't make out.
