Comments:

This was a up and down contest.  On Saturday we managed to make 36 hard
fought
contacts.  Six meters was never open for us so we had to grind out Q's on
Two
meters and up.  Luckily Sunday was better.  Six meters was open to the Upper
Midwest and South East.  For the first time we used a Flex-3000 along with a
DEMI 222-28 for 222.  After working out some of the bugs and getting it
running
while going down the road we were very happy with the results.

Other than a flat tire we had to have fixed in Waco, Texas we had no real
issues.  We did get the chance to stop by and meet N5AC/R and WD0ACD/R in
Hico,
Texas after lunch on Sunday.

73's de Jeffrey (N5TIT) and Jim (AD5OW)
