Gary:

You did a great job with W1AW/5, as your statistics show!

And, you were a solid 59+ into Central Lower Michigan.

And, I agree;  anyone who is interested should definitely try to take
advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I'll admit that it is a little intimidating at first, but once you get
going, any jitters rapidly fade away.

I'm already looking forward to our second run in October here, and have
contacted the coordinator so that we can start to set something up when he
is ready.

Well all I can say is that it was a lot of fun and if you have the
opportunity to operate W1AW you should definitely do it.  In my 2 hour shift
I worked 209 stations.  Which broke down to 21 states and 9 different DX
entities.  For most of the 2 hours I had a nice pile up.  In the heat of
making sure I logged the correct call I may not have recognized some of you
who worked me so if you stopped by and worked me I really appreciate it.  

I'm not sure I'll have the opportunity to do it again this go around but
when MS comes up again in November I'm going to sign up for more times.
