Appears that most of us haven't figured out our scores yet. CARC and
RCRC had fun using the SECC club call, W4AN, in AL with two CW stations,
two SSB stations, one Digital station, one GOTA station (W4CVY), and one
VHF station. We made five green power QSOs, at least one satellite QSO,
and had a bunch of kids using PSK31 under supervision of N4DJV. Had a
lot of networking and logging problems, which have delayed the final
totals a bit. We were visited at the site by a local GA Superior Court
judge, Gil McBride, a friend of FD Chairman K4EOR and K4BAI. We copied
the ARRL FD message and sent FD messages to the SMs of GA and AL. Had a
very good meal prepared on site Saturday evening. Quit an hour early
due to thunderstorms in the area.

contacts in the RAC last night on 80 low power, the only band I have got
set back up after Field Day.
