 Soapbox Comments

 Excuses:
   Late start from home to the W5KU antenna farm; 
   flat tire; 
   major road repair delay on the way; 
   wind damage to 10M antenna and 75M dipole requiring 
      three trips up the tower ate up all my off time 
      and more before ever starting;
   Houston Lighting and Power did NOT find the S-9 
      noise to the northeast;
   The neighbor's elecric fence is getting worse.  

 Successes:
   Learned a lot -- still wondering about off-time strategy
   and how aggressive to be about asking people to change
   bands.  
   Never give up on 10M/15M.

 Had a great time anyway -- wonderful format 
 for a contest, and a lot of ladies and gentlemen.

 Congrats to N5KO, N5TJ, NM5M, N0NI and all the others -- great scores!

Dave, K5GN
