As one of the primary operators of W2MM during both the spring and fall QSO 
parties and also during the QCWA Convention, perhaps we can put this 
"thread" to rest quickly.

The W2MM operation from the convention site in Kissimmee, FL had nothing to 
do with the QSO parties.  Chapter 45 (this year's convention host) ran 2 HF 
stations (one on SSB and one on CW as a "Special Event" and also to allow 
convention attendees to get on the air during the convention.

The W2MM/4 operation used an Icom 756 Pro for SSB and an original Icom 756 
for CW.  feeding Cushcraft R5 Verticals and a G5RV inverted "V".  The 
station was located in the Hospitality Suite at the convention.  Bands 
operated depended on conditions and local interference (SSB and CW on 
different bands).  We were on all  bands between 40 and 10 Meters.

If you worked us (either at the convention or during either this year's 
spring or fall QSO parties), and desire a QSL, send your card and a SASE to 
W1DLP at his CBA.
