IT WAS A GOOD DAY.  HAD A GOOD BUNCH OF HAMs (17) AND A COUPLE OF NON-HAMs JOIN US.  I THINK THE STORMS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THE COOLER WEATHER LIMITED ATTENDANCE.  I MET SOME OLD FRIENDS AND MADE A COUPLE OF NEW ONES AS I AM SURE ALL THAT ATTENDED DID AS WELL.  THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.  WE SETUP A HF RIG AND MADE A FEW CONTACTS.  IT WAS ALSO A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR OUR CLUB ON HOW TO IMPROVE AND PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR.  NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE ON THE FIRST SATURDAY IN NOVEMBER, SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS.  IF ANYONE HAS SUGGESTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR, LET ME HEAR FROM YOU.  THIS EVENT IS ABOUT AND FOR YOU.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME UNPACK AND REPACK MY TRUCK AND THOSE THAT SET UP THE HF RIG.

YA’ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY.
