[Milsurplus] Dayton HFpack Eyebal QSO Check-in List

[Mark]

Here's the list of check-ins for the Dayton HFpack Eyeball 
QSO.  I chose not to bring my PRC-1099 this year and 
borrowed Joe's (WA4VAG) instead.  When I checked it 20min 
before the net, it wouldn't tune and all attempts to fix 
it were to no avail.

Five minutes before start time Dennis KB0SFP threw his Yeasu 
VX-1210 setup on my back and away I went.  Kudos to KB0SFP for 
saving my, er, AGC.  :)

Later on we discovered my battery had picked that exact 
moment to fail.  It showed good voltage but wouldn't 
source any current.  Test the next day at Joe's showed a perfectly
good radio.  More tests today at my CO QTH showed the pack works 
fine on my own 1099.  I figure it must've been a bad connection 
to the radio power pins.  That's what's great about this hobby - 
no matter how long you've been messing with this stuff, you can 
STILL get dazed and confused.  :)

Let me know if I left anyone out or goofed up any entries.  I
was writing fast!  Some participants didn't stick around for 
the second round when I got names and equipment, and I filled 
them in as best I could. 

Did someone really have an IC-7600 on their back, or did I 
write it down wrong?  I think maybe we had a couple ringers.  :)

There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.
