[NLRS] Aurora '02 - Thanks

[Steven H Sawyers (na0ia)]

Thanks for the conference. 

No thanks for the weather!!

I had a good time and really enjoyed putting the faces to the calls.

The technical presentations were very interesting and I really appreciated the buy on the Heliax - swore I was not going to buy anything - but that was too good to passup.

Several people asked for the Excel Log Sheet File. Please send me an email and I will attach to the reply.

The first part of the trip home was some what interesting. Parking must be scarce in the Twin Cities. Quite a few people resorted to parking off the road or in the median while they walked to their destination.

I ran out of the snow and slush about 15 miles south of I494, then had to fight the rain and the WIND! 300 miles each way. Up was 4 hours and 15 minutes; back was 5 hours 30 minutes.

Looking forward to next year.

Steve
