Comments:
Wow, that was painful. No openings other than a few Meteor Scatter Qs and a few Es contacts (K0HA is one I remember on 6). We had about 20 people up on Flag Pole Knob, VA (el. 4300) starting on Wednesday before the contest and final tear down was on Monday morning following the contest. We were also visited by a few James Madison University students that partied with us on Friday night at our Delta House camper. As always, we had fun, no injuries, and no major equipment failures (other than the microprocessor board on the 30 KW diesel generator, the Techno Maintenance Weenies bypassed it and it ran fine). We'll CU all next June, 73, Jack W4NF @ W4IY
