Greetings!!   Great job Mike and the gang getting the 
preliminary results out so quickly!!!  Can you believe it?? 
I got beat by a portable station !!!  It happened. 
Congratulations to Mark AA3K who will take the County Low 
Power certificate.  At N3CR (with KA3AFY) we had so much fun 
trying different antennas on Sunday that looking for 
counties seemed more important than racking up some numbers. 
We didn't have the tribander but we tried everything else 
and they all worked great.   Conditions were expected to be 
down and being able to try different antennas at different 
heights showed some interesting things.  A simple antenna at 
60 ft still can be the better performer.   Keeping them up 
there could be another interesting conversation.   They are 
all at 40ft so let the north wind blow.   Great job 
everyone.   Nice job Mark keeping everyone honest!!  Best 
dang contest in the country.   Best of holiday greetings to 
all and GOOD DX!!!   73s de larry n3cr  Carbon County 
Multi-0ne   back at #4 again.
