[Howard Motley]

Here's the scores I have so far listed by station - QSO's - Mults - Score - Ops
W4PM @ W4DR    1,055 124  316,696  - Ops W4PM N3UAW4MYA @ W4HZ     876  106  203,838 - Ops K4OSO W4PM   
In addition I know N3UA, KG4W, K4OSO and WB3D were also active from their home stations.  I look forward to receiving your scores in a format like the above.  If you want me to send in your log e-mail your Cabrillo file to me.  If you send in your own make sure "Central Virginia Contest Club" is included in the heading of the log.
Again thanks to BOB E for letting me use my call at his station.  Using W4PM with that antenna was a thrill!  And thanks to Jonathan for letting Milt and I play with his GREAT new station.  That FTDX-101D and the Elecraft amp are outstanding.  His  wire way up in the sky does work very well too.  It was fun using W4MYA on the air in honor of Bob "the Dude" Morris.  I had a number of stations send RIP or Dude with their exchange!  On SSB next weekend the call should be even more recognized.  
I think we will have a small club score that will be very hard to beat!
Murphy was with us this year BUT we made it through.  Both Milt and I had to resort to manual keying but we persevered.  The problem at W4HZ was identified and cured the 2nd night.  Hopefully Sejo was able to get W4DR's station keying via computer properly the 2nd night there.
Thanks to all who participated in this Club effort.  I think we all did GOOD!  
AND also thanks to Ronnie for sending the member list to ARRL so our logs would count for the club - VERY IMPORTANT!
The ARRL 10 Meter is next weekend and current plans are for 2 multi-single stations again.  I am having second thoughts about  operating two 12 hour or longer shifts for this one. I just getting too old to do it.  Perhaps we could just do a SSB only day at W4DR and split up the SSB day into more than one shift.  That way Sejo could do CW the first day, and others could do SSB in shifts and I need not operate at W4DR at all?  VOLUNTEERS speak up NOW.  Of course W4DR and Sejo have to agree to this too.
