Operators:              Bob Boyd

Remarks:    A part-time effort but had a real blast!  Also found time
for two grandkids soccer games, helping XYL make ten quarts of home-made
relish, pulling in and winterizing our 19 foot sailboat, sleep, etc.

I am tremendously pleased with the month-old all-band vertical.  I
worked everything that I heard and called worldwide, and I'm planning on
full-time efforts in some of the contests that are coming up.

I am scheduled to have a total knee replacement this next Friday, so
needless to say, after that I will be in the shack most of the time that
I'm not doing physical therapy!
