12/16/2003 | NB4K Thanks to all those worked us over the weekend. After the slow start Friday evening Saturday and Sunday turned out to be good for 10 meters. We broke in a new ham and lookout next year as he has really took on the contest mode. Had no probelm working who we wanted off the 10, 15 and 20 meter 6 element beam. But the most fun was being able to use my 40 meter rotatable dipole. It proved to be the antenna for ground scatter and band openings. Of course the beam was used in the DX pileups.

Thanks to Ron Baker, KG4C and Michael Cehand, KG4YXC for their efforts over the weekend as it was truly a group effort.

Also a big thanks to N3FJP and the wonderful program he has developed for the contesting. -- NB4K
