My first submission with the club. Thanks for getting me in under the 
wire, and for the warm welcome from all club members.  I made sure to 
include the club name correctly on the log submission.  I operated 
barefoot using a multiband wire antenna (W5GI), so not a lot of help 
there, but had a lot of fun anyway.  Missed Yukon and Idaho. Never heard 
them.  I've always been "CW challenged" like Rob, so I try to operate CW 
sweeps every year just to work on those skills.  Also need to get used 
to N1MM which I'm sure I don't use effectively. I'll have to learn by 
looking over the shoulder of one of the club pro's, as there are a lot 
of great features.  Didn't have much luck getting any meaningful runs 
going (my great radiator I'm sure), so I S&P'd my way through most of 
the contest.  I worked a number of club members and recognized a few 
like Will (W4MR), Kaz (W4KAS) and Jim (K4QPL). But how did I ever miss 
Rob (KA1ARB) and Alan (AA4FU)?  Always a great time on Sweeps.
