Kevin,

The same thing happened here.  We had a credible threat of serious
thunderstorms for the whole period, which did not develop at all.  I don't
blame the folks for being careful, but it would have been nice to have a
back-up plan.  So I wound up operating 1D from my basement.  I made about 40
to 50 Q's on 80, 40 and 15.  At least we gave some other hardy souls someone
to talk to during the fray.  I'm sure they appreciated our contacts.

Complete dolts, Kevin.  Even if none of them cared for CW, why would they
act like that?
I'll bet if you got to know them, you'd discover a number of even more
disturbing character traits.
You don't need to be hanging with a crowd like that.

Next year, I'll have my own "back-up plan".
