Dear FISTS friends,

W3GR, the Historical Electronics Museum ARC (FISTS Nr 9275)
participated in its first FISTS event. We had a total of 59 QSOs
mainly on 20m, with some on 15m. We worked 13 clubs:

K6TTX
W4GAC
K7FFF    (2 bands)
W4FCR  (2 bands)
W8FFF
N5FFF
K4FFF
W4MVZ  (2 bands)
W9FFF
VK4RC
K5TCC
W7PXL
W5DAR

We operated a total of 8 hours: the first four from 1600-2000 EDT
and the last four from 0800-1200 EDT.  The contest times don't 
coincide well with our Museum's opening hours, so we would 
support a longer contest.  We don't operate W3GR from homes,
so more hours on Saturday would allow us more air time from
the museum.  How about extending the contest to 24 hours, 
from 2000Z Friday to 2000Z Saturday?  This would give both
coasts favorable operating periods on all bands.

We QSL 100% of our FISTS contacts via the FISTS bureau.
It will just be a couple weeks before the QSL manager can
generate the cards for C2C.

73 es tnx for QSOs!
