Our club's first try at a special event station went well I believe. We had a couple of hurtles to over come Saturday morning and got a late start. Mr. Andy, N1ORK, thanks for the contact on 20 meters! I am sorry some were not able to contact us.

We got on the air a little late, our first contact was at 0944 hours eastern on 20 meters. We had a total of 233 contacts. 209 contacts were made on 20 meters and 24 were made on 40 meters. The other bands were not very cooperative! N4F had contacts in 34 States and five countries (Guatemala, Germany, Canada, Spain, and Cuba). We even worked a maritime mobile station on a commercial cruise liner that was just north east of Cuba.

73,
