[TowerTalk] K2GL

That is a great movie and I would love to see it again.  Hopefully more 
copies can be made on DVD  for a reasonable cost.

I have also received some inquires about the "To Win the World" movie and 
can
comment:

1.  I have contacted the producer and seems like something may be happen for
2008.  Either
simply more copies or (hopefully!) and updated version with some previously
excluded out
takes.  The movie was professionally done and is narrated by Bill Leonard,
W2SKE (SK).  For
those of you who don't know, Bill was VP at CBS News, a famous "announcer" 
on
par with
Walter Cronkite, and was the author of the famous Sports Illustrated article 
on
contesting.

2.  The movie recorded one of only three "losses" at N2AA at K2GL.  In this
one, we lost to
W2PV (10.618M vs 10.399M...not that I remember such things).  The year was 
1981
and we
actually lost both modes to the PV crew.  The other loss was to N5AU, but I
don't remember
the year.  Yes, that right, a "5" won M/M that year.
