[W3GV] Results of North Am. QSO Party-SSB abd ARRL VHF Contest

[Zipperkng at aol.com]

Hi All...I think we had a very good turnout for these 2 contests. On Sat.,  
for the SSB and VHF contests, there were 9 members in attendance. Some  
operated, some logged, which is a BIG help, and some just were there to  lend a 
hand and socialize. The SSB contest was just for 12 hours on Sat. We all  
left about 4:30. The VHF contest continued on through Sunday, and in the 
morning  Rick WA3MKT, John WB3IFD and myself were there.
 
In the SSB contest we had 89 contacts with a claimed score of 3115. I  
forgot to get the figures for the VHF contest, but I believe we had 18  
contacts, all done by Rick and John. I grabbed the mic for a few CQ's but  nothing. 
I am having trouble getting the contest log off the hard drive of  the 
computer. It will not recognize my finger drive, and does not recognize that  a 
CD in the DVD/CD drive. Might be something I am doing wrong. If anyone can 
get  it downloaded, it would be appreciated.
 
Thank you to Rick for bringing and setting up the VHF rig for the contest.  
He worked a long time to get it working with our antenna. Thanks to John 
for  bringing a veggie tray, bean dip tray, AND POTATOE CHIPS!! Joe KA3CPV was 
in  charge of coffee.
 
We will be at it again this Sunday morning starting about 9:00AM, for  the 
10-10 International DX Contest. It actually begins Sat. night  at 7:00 PM. I 
don't  expect 10m to be open then. Should be  interesting is 10m is in good 
shape, as we will most likely will be running  the legal limit.
