Comments:

First time ever to get all 6 members of my family to operate together in 
the
anything goes category. I did all my operating telepathically during my 
1 hour
commute home from the hospital, which is now known as the Hot Zone.  My 
wife
Sharon KW5MOM banged out CW at 45 wpm with a wooden spoon while stirring 
the
spaghetti sauce. Our son Delton KF5GDJ used a bass trombone slide to 
adjust the
tuning of all the antenna.  Oldest daughter Jordan KF5GDJ experimented 
with a
new halo antenna design, oscillating it at variable frequency around her 
hips -
think hula hoop!  Middle daughter Laurel KF5KAJ operated remotely from 
Provo
Utah without evening knowing it - I placed her photo in the Yakencom 
homemobile
talky thing and it just worked.  Youngest daughter KF5MTH had the best 
time,
operating skateboard mobile with an iPhone adapter via bluetooth to the
EleFlexMFJAlpha model W1SHU-Had-1 ViewMaster band scope repeating 
voicekeyer.

The use of the RF signal jamming device that was given to me as a
non-participation award in the 1997 running of the Poisson d'Avril 
Contest was
the biggest contributor to our QSO rate of 122,991 QSOs per hour, a 
significant
drop since the 2019 PdA contest - our log got rejected by the contest 
robot with
a single error - BSxInfinity

See you all next year!  When this stay at home order lifts, the first 
thing I'm
going to do is buy some taller boots.
