Lou,
I worked quite a bit from here this year as well.  Spent some time at 
our local club's F D site - about a half mile from here.  Just hung 
out and watched a guy, older than me, work really high speed C W 
while he chatted with us!
Will have the logging software in place for next year.  Hate that 
"did I work them or just hear them" thing!  And of course I got 
called out on a couple of dupes; and that is embarrassing!
but a lot of fun.
