[Mldxcc] Final Score - MLDXCC FD

[Jim Venneman]

Greetings,
   
  Here are the main excerpts from the official ARRL entry form for Field Day. As it turns out, I over-estimated the total number of GOTA bonus points by 50, so our "final-final" FD score is 9,432 (8,492 contact points plus 940 bonus points). That's still 530 points ahead of last year. In terms of Field Day scores - that's a lot! 
   
  Thanks again for a great FD event. I'm already looking forward to next year.
   
  73s, Jim -WX6V-

Comments:
KF6T was the coach for the two brothers (Paul Cecil, age 17 and Greg 
Cecil, age 15) who made their first ever QSOs on our GOTA station during 
Field Day. (Note to ARRL - KF6T was not a "full-time" GOTA coach for 
bonus credit). Their help was also invaluable during Friday setup and 
take down on Sunday. Shortly after FD was over, we heard that Paul Cecil, 
who attends Placer High School in Auburn, Ca., will be earning his 
amateur radio license as part of his senior class project this coming 
school year. The rest of his project will be related to what he has learned 
about ham radio. The members of MLDXCC who were at FD this year gave 
these two boys a hearty round of applause during our annual round table 
discussion about the highs and lows of the weekend before leaving our FD 
site on Sunday afternoon. One other thing - it was wonderful to be at 
an altitude of 6,500 feet in the Sierras over FD weekend where the 
temperature was a balmy 85 degrees, while the Sacramento Valley was siz
 zling with 105 degree heat. Going back home was hard. See y'all next 
year!
