    W0NO -- Nov 18, 2003 17:14 ET

    Multiop in KS 1529 Qs * sweep = 244,640

    The old Flatland Amateur Radio Transmitting Society convened once again at the W0NO QTH. Conditions were a little more stable than for the cw session (see our CW ’03 soapbox under K0WA). NL was the last section to go in the log Sunday morning, as has been the case more often than not for us the last few Sweepstakes.

    It’s sure good to log so many recent checks. Some undoubtedly are new club callsigns etc. but many are honest newbies. Witness some of the other soapbox comments here..... In fact our station owner W0NO has only been licensed since 1999 although the ‘bug’ has been in him much longer. Apparently the future of contesting is bright.

    We used the 2nd radio to better effect in this contest than any previous effort, but we still have much to learn about the most effective use of it.

    See you next year. -- K0BJ

    Minimal RFI worries at Alan's farm Multi-2 QTH, and lots of room for towers, 4 squares and Beverages.

    Tim AB0S runs on the 756PRO II/Alpha 91B main station.

    Lee K0WA tunes the 91B while Alan W0NO checks for smoke...

    In his 2nd SS with us, Mike K0FJ is our newest addition and he can R U N .

    Bruce K0BJ and W0NO on the 2nd rig scour for fresh meat during the "Sunday noon doldrums".
