> Congrats to the W9SN crew for a nice performance..  We were plagued Friday night
> until Saturday AM with weather/thunderstorms right on top of us which held us at
> bay on the low bands, with no other place to go. Oh well... 
> 
> But nonetheless we had a good time, especially introducing two new contestors
> to the station and N1MM+.  Mike, K5MMH tried his hand on 160M/80M and really
> suffered through the QRN.  Since he had to cover two bands at the same time, it
> was a challenge.  Meanwhile, the 40M ops (NO5W/W5RY) did their best as well.
> 
> Late Saturday morning, we were joined by 13-year old Bryant, KG5HVO, a real
> phenom.  After being coached by NO5W for a bit, he took the reigns of both the
> 20M and 15M radios and did a great job for the 5 hours he was here.  I'm sure
> he wanted to stay a lot longer, but mom said no.  He learned CW only 5 months
> ago and he was able to handle 30-40 wpm with ease, much to our surprise.  
> 
> By August of this year, much to our disappointment, he will be living in
> Montgomery, AL..  Fred, WW4LL, if you are reading this, I will have you reach
> out to this young ham and have him operate at your station.  You will be very
> impressed.
> 
> Thankfully Saturday night and Sunday were much better from a QRN perspective. 
> David, W5XU, joined us late Sunday afternoon, sporting a bandaged thumb from
> installing a new double oven at his sister's house.  
> 
> Much to his surprise, as he was removing the bottom oven door from the old
> unit, the spring-loaded latch popped back and nearly split his thumb in two
> halves.  I told him that if he paid more attention to ham radio than playing
> appliance installer, he would be much better off.  But no, David being an
> engineer, has to do everything himself! So there....
> 
> Anyway, thanks to all the DX for being there and making it a fun time.. And we
> plan to log V43Z's power as "TTT" as that is what we heard, as well
> as PV8ADI's power as "RR" when he was sending that..
