[John Zelz]

Here is a quick summary of the multi/multi operation from McHenry County
RACES and ARES, K9ESV.

Woodstock, IL. Operations were conducted from MCEMA Unit 52 Communications

Operators/helpers included: KE4CON, N9EB, KF9ME, WC9P, KB9YMD, KA9OZP, and

Yes, I did say multi/multi operation. While we enjoy the event, we have made
a conscious decision to get as many folks on the air as we can instead of
trying to compete. Since M/M is not a category (yet) for the competition, we
are submitting a check log only. With the nice weather, it was turned out to
be a great event that we look forward to participating in every year. 

 

We also humbly submit the request to add a multi/multi category for the
event next year. Not that we want to win ;-)

 

73,

 

John
