With a valiant effort on the part of a few of our members, we were able to operate for approximately 5 hours on Friday, the final day of the contest. While not spectacular, for the time put-in, I'd say we made a good showing for it. Special thanks go out to: Ken, N5KUK - for making sure we had an antenna with which to cook the atmosphere WX5NHC - for allowing us the use of their IC-7000, very nice rig, indeed Robin, KC0BSC - for getting permission to use the NWC Obs deck and operating during the contest Jarrod, KD5RAK - for operating during the contest Nate, AE5IG - for operating during the contest Aaron, WX5AB - for operating during the contest and use of the logging computer A reminder to club members that the National Weather Festival will be held from 9am - 1pm at the NWC on November 8th. We will have a table set up with radios to give a public demonstration of our great hobby. Please plan on attending if you have the time to do so.
