> There is nothing like having good conditions to remind you how much fun it can
> be to work a radio contest - even a PHONE CONTEST from Northwest Arkansas.
> Conditions sounded like 11 years ago when we worked our first contest after
> building the station.
> 
> We are still using the same, single Yagi for 10M that we started with 11 years
> ago.  That is the only antenna that has not changed and is clearly the one band
> where we we are lacking as compared to the others. More gain will be nice when
> we do something about it, but not having to rotate the antenna so much will
> also be of great benefit.
> 
> A few days before the contest it looked like KD0HY, N5DX and K5GO would be
> staying up the whole time.  Some great, part-time help came through, however.
> We were glad to have W5OX and his 10 year old (extra class) grandson, KF5COP,
> come up to help out for several hours.  K5NX was able to come for the entire
> day on Sunday.  K5LG was there at the beginning and spent a lot of time helping
> out on both Saturday and Sunday.  Having good conditions to go with KD0HY being
> there for the duration, a good time will be had by all.  Terry said I should
> have had about six kids and trained them all to be as good as N5DX.
> 
> We were pleased to put forth an effort that, unless there is a winning
> performance from the crew at K5TR, should set a new record for Multi Single for
> W5 set 21 years ago by a who's who of radio contesting from K5MR.
> 
> Thanks to the cumulative efforts of the thousands of individuals worldwide who
> operate the contest, making it an enjoyable event for everyone involved.
