Comments:

Thanks team for a really fun weekend.  Here's to K5GA and NM5M -- awarded the

"dynamic duo of destruction" award for tearing up enough equipment to keep the

radio repair industry fully employed for the next month.

And to the newcomer, K9CT, for traveling the the greatest distance and doing

yeoman's duty on 160. Here's to your new station on the rise! I certainly hope

you will come back again.

Have to run now but I'll have plenty of criticism (and a little praise here and

there) for each of you when the logs go in for real!

And for all that worked us... we REALLY appreciate each and every Q.

73, George, NR5M
