Another observation, or perhaps tips, to be made here. I brought my
daughter to field day last year, and she was annoyed that she had some
problem getting involved in the activity. So, I woke her up at 5AM and
told her to get out there and offer to relieve them. When I finally got
up several hours later she was busily working away. Now, she just got
her licence and worked the VHF contest yesterday. Time will tell.

Sorry about the first message. Dunno how it got fired out of here. Again, I
expect to have more definite scores by the end of the week, possibly including
breakdowns per band.
Station (+multiops) Score Bands Section
W3XO/5 (+K5LLL, KB5NFN) ~80K ABCD9E STX
W5KFT (+WB5VZL) ~181K ABDE ? STX
(I'm sure George will post their true score)
KB5IUA ~93K ABCDE STX
W5SXD ~20K ABD9E STX
KC5BQS ~600 ABD9E STX
(Probably wins section on 902MHz)
Breakdown on 902MHz for STX:
Station QSOs Grids
KC5BQS 4 3
W3XO/5 3 2
W5SXD 1 1
[soapbox mode ON]
Yep, those are *ALL* of the stations with 902 south of Dallas. And people
wonder we don't place very high in the scores. Look at the density of ops.
[soapbox mode OFF]
Had a great time out at W3XO. 6m started off with a bang, 100+/hour rate for
the first hour. AA5C and WB5LUA appreciated the new grid on 902. Yep, was a
pretty good contest overall.
73,
