Jeff and Becky,
I am glad you are both safe and home.
When some thing like this happens, the radio stuff goes out the window.
Don't fret a bit about counties, that is not important when trouble shows up.
Your work for us and the other contests is greatly appreciated, and is
underscored when Murph happens.
When you get the Surgeon's report, give us an update.
Thanks,
Mike, NE4S

Subject: [SECC] Apologies from NY4N/m
What should have turned out to be a wonderful weekend (Saturday) in the GQP,
turned out to be a nightmare for Becky and I. Everything worked out fine for
the contest. Got down to Dade County, got plenty of rest, and was loading up
1.5 hours before the contest when IT happened.
While sitting at Cloud Land Canyon State Park, the Van stopped running. Just
like you turned off the key. Never to start again. It has taken us approx 36
hours to get towed out of the park, stay an extra night in Trenton, GA, then
have the Van towed back home by a family member on Easter Sunday.
Needless to say, we were not able to help the Group activate all 159 counties.
We tried everything, but could not go. Needless to say, we are truely sorry. It
just could not be helped.
The Van is resting comfortably at the Surgeon's office (mechanic) here locally
to undergo tests in the morning.
All we can say is ,again, we are sorry we could not fulfill our end of the
contest.
73, Jeff and Becky
