Soapbox:

WB3AAL: hiked 2.8 miles North from the Rte 501 crossing to Round Head Lookout on the Appalachian Trail in PA.

I had fun in the contest, great way to give out multipliers. We saw two Wart Hog Jets from the military fly over the treetops. Wonder if I could have sent them as a multiplier. :-) Can’t wait until next years contest so I can spend more time in the contest and out on the trail.

AA7EQ: Where was everyone? Signals were good from AR to PA, MI, ID on 20 and

15 and QSO'd a Los Angeles station that was also using a K1 at 5w and

was a good 559.

NU7T: Thank you for hosting a fun sprint. It is more fun trying to explain such an

odd request.

K7TQ: Nice to work you and thanks for putting this one on.

WU9F:  Buffalo in Wisconsin you ask?   Yes, on I-90/94 in Juneau county between mile markers 59-60 there is a farm with a herd of between 10 or 12 buffalo.   Must be a farmer raising them for commercial sales.

W2AGN: Good conditions, even worked HA5MA with my ATS-III and end fed wire, but little activity. Guess not much interest in this one.
