Ted,

Great set up.  Thanks to you and Lorraine for  entertaining us  for the 
weekend. Many great scores on 3830 but none had as much fun as we  did.

Comments:

The weather cooperated for us this year compared to last year's storms.  No

equipment issues, unlike last year's problems with N1MM.  Finally had enough

operators to go the distance and man both positions full time.

I cannot say enough about the efforts that our operators put in this year. 

Chuck, NO5W, has been a great addition to our contest efforts since moving 
back

to New Orleans last year (glad we could steal him from the NR5M operating

crew!).  Also, having Joe, W3GW, now near us in St. Francisville, LA, is

another terrific operator and more importantly, willing to help me with the

unwanted graveyard shift.

We missed getting Dave, W5XU, in for only a few hours do to other 
committments,

but is another welcome addition to the crew and with his upcoming move to

Covington, will hopefully be a stable for our contest efforts.

Greg, W5RY, plans to retire this year - finally!  So hopefully he will be 
able

to pitch in more with our contest efforts as well and in addition, is 
looking

to move to our area!

Hopefully this year I can make some futher improvements to the station.  I 
need

to focus on reducing cross band interference, as well as improving some of 
my

antennas where I can.  It will start with clearing my back acre of property 
and

hopefully will be able to install a new tower, as well as erect a 160M 
vertical

phased array.  Also hope to move the 80M array to a 4-square and replace the

Moseley PRO67C3 with most likely a SteppIR DB-36.

Anyway, we all had a good time.  Lots of good food and many thanks to my XYL

for putting up with all of us for this weekend.  And thanks to all of you 
for

all the Qs!  Congratualtions to all the winners.

73,

Ted
