 Hi Eric,

You were 599+C at KS3N on 80 meters, yours truly plugging away.

Tnx QSO!

Lots of fun this weekend.

Started out with trying to get the generator running.  Problem ended up 
being varnished gas in the carb from being in storage so long. After 
getting that cleaned out, ran fine.  Got the antenna up just shortly 
before 2PM Sat.

The equipment generally worked well, the biggest issue being chirp 
depending on how the stages in the rig were tuned.  RX worked well, but 
still having occasional fits of frequency jumping.  Stuff to work on 
over the next year.

We made 305 QSOs, 151 on 40M and 154 on 80M. It was nice to catch 
several NCC and MRRC guys, Tim's group on 80, Jamie's group (W3MIE) on 
40 and 80, and wrapped up 80M for the night with K3UA and W3USA (W8WTS op).

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.
