Comments:

We had a great time during this contest.  We had several of our ops not able to
come for one reason or another (2 )

We had a total 12 ops this year (not counting the girls - Harmonics)  I think
all but one had done rtty contesting at least once from here ...  looks like it
is starting to make a difference.  (nice to be able to get about 10 hours of
sleep (off and on) during a 48 hour contest.


Writelog seems to work well .... one thing happened .... after logging a call on
15 meters  I noticed that the call was logged at the freq of 21000 ... (instead
ot 21092 or where ever we were ....  The RADIO changed to 21000 ??!!!???  (only
happened one time) other then that software seems to work fine.

The side yard is torn up from all the cars parking ... the ground was very wet
and NOT frozen like it was for weeks before and like it is right now...  Debbie
is not happy!!! Will have to have a work party to "Smooth" things out!
