Paul has proposed that we run N1MM in network mode so that during the night, when it starts getting slow, a 2nd operator can run Search & Pounce while the 1st operator is Running - or perhaps the 2nd operator fills the bandmap with available Qs. Either way another transceiver and network mode is needed.
I hope to have a second 20m Yagi available as well.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We should strive to have 4 Gota operators (either non-hams or non-active hams) that can do 100 contacts, plus some scouts and visitors that can do the remaining 100 contacts. We always need youth for the youth bonus, if you know any youths. We also haven't done the satellite bonus, if anyone out there has skills in that area.

Frank, WA3OFC, is a college friend who's been very helpful in getting me back into amateur radio, invited me and I've enthusiastically accepted. 73 from Westerly, RI.

Steve Kennick will not be coming this year along with Elaine Kennick. Let me know if anything else is needed. My email is now updated as above.

CW = 1369 contacts, Phone = 1387 contacts, GOTA = 223 contacts. This is a new high for cw! Check back here in the coming days and I'll get the website updated (send me your pics!).

Upon returning home, I immediately got into the tub. I swear when I opened the drain it gurgled in dits and dahs!
