MARC participated. Here's my housekeeping rant.
Thanks to All who participated and helped in any & every way!
Some special shout-outs: to Bill –KKF for authorizing the WiFi Hot Spot. CTRL Up and CTRL-Down worked so well during S&P I had a 50Q per hour rate at times. Cannot do that without spotting (at least I cannot). To John –LYP for coming by at 8AM Sunday to jaw-jack a bit and help tear-down. To Eric and Elsie for being so thoughtful as to invite Anne West K1STM to operate CW. I found it fulfilling to see her get so excited making contacts! I live-broadcasted some of it on my FB webpage. To Anne –STM (our newest MARC Club Member) for bringing enthusiasm to our Club Operation.
Thank You to All Operators who committed and operated, and to those that came by to check on The Operation and kept us company! I like that part of Club Activations! Almost better (sometimes it IS better) to ragchew in-person (than to listen to static crashes or dupes).
Now the results:
