A couple of hours last night and this afternoon has resulted in my fastest sweep
4-1/2 hrs with Corliss, AL1G as # 83
I've seen cluster spots from the club ops on all bands ... You're doing a great job !
With good antennas in the future, coupled with state of the art equipment, W1NRG will be known worldwide as a contesting power house.

Wow Dave nice going! Great determination!
The last contact needed by W1NRG and obtained was VE Maritime, coming in the last hours of the competition.
Joe persisted and came through as did All Operators - K1VDF John, KC1AXJ Steve, KC1BAQ Joe (working with a bug which he happily kept to himself!), and Yours Truly.
Skip (W1SKP) wanted to Operate but had a bug of his own to deal with. N1ZN Jim & N1API Al Operated Sunday along with Joe to cap it off.
Thanks to KB1HCC Haggie for setup/takedown, Rich for the same and getting me straight with the Wireless, equipment connections & equipment familiarization, Steve for horsepower during setup, Al N1API, John K1VDF for contesting guidance, Dave W1CTN for Contesting Guidance and N1MM familiarization and Joe for equipment takedown with Haggie.
Not wanting to leave anyone out, Thanks to The Entire Club since guidance & assistance comes not only during Contest Time but throughout the year. Thanks To All!
If you Operated and are not listed here, please reply and add your name. Clean Sweep Mugs for All Operators per Bill (W1KKF)!
I'm on the bandwagon for Us creating a State of the Art Contest Station and Group at The Club!

To all,
Yes this was a lot of fun. Had some dead time on Sunday but persisted and pulled in WY and a few others that were tough to hear mid-day. It was a great feeling seeing those sections turn from a white box to a red box as the day went on. Look forward to doing more of this as a group. Sorry I couldn't help take down the equipment today.
73,

Awesome Steve. I met Joe (KC1BAQ) at The Club today to grab the Laptop.
We put away the remainder of the Equipment away too. All cleared out.
Thanks to Haggie (KB1HCC) for deconstructing the radiating gear today!
Bill (W1KKF) mentioned the Rookie Roundup (CW) and John (N1GNV) mentioned something on the Reflector today about the 10M CW/SSB Contest coming up. I'm interested! The Bug has truly bitten me I guess!

Maybe it was a contest bug I caught this weekend.
