Subject: Contest University On-Line Yesterday

The number of participants is staggering.  Very cool to see so many hams gathering on-line for this event.  I'm sure the sessions were recorded and should be posted on-line soon.

"The Zoom license was a 30-day, 3000-seat license and they darn near maxed out the number of seats!  I don't know how many unique calls were logged on but the steady-state attendance was about 2100 plus 400 or more on YouTube.  I suspect about 3500 unique calls - many from places rarely represented at Dayton.  Quite a few VU calls, EU, some from AF and the Pacific Rim.  I expect some variation of this will be repeated next year."
