Greetings everyone....
       Great job in the PAQP 2009!!  Lots of QSOs out there 
with W3HA  K3PP K3NG/qrp and KB3AGZ.  Who and where is that 
W3T guy?  Never did hear K3T.  Here goes the gory details 
and I GOT MORE QSOS THAN K3NG!!  But K3NG/qrp  wins again. 
Even beats K3PP!!  Great Contest!!

Greetings...the antennas did not want to stay up and neither 
did the trees.  A Tuesday nite/Wednesday morning wind storm 
brought down all the newly restored wire antennas including 
an 80m loop like a domino effect.  One tree fell on 
another....Wound up repairing and getting up 3 dipoles at 25 
to 35ft instead of 50 to 60ft.  Pulling on one leg of the 
40m loop brought it down as well on Saturday morning.  40m 
did not perform well at all as Ray W3TDF predicted and 80m 
became the bread and butter band.

My stats before deductions:

We were kept busy much of the time and worked many familiar 
calls.  I wound up breaking out the "golden paddles" which I 
never could get properly adjusted with the  built in keyer. 
I do not claim to be a CW contester but gave it the old NAVY 
heave ho.   I do four major contests a year.  I thank 
everyone for being out there.  It was great fun.  Things are 
bound to get better.   I even heard K3NG /qrp  once or 
twice!!
