Here is the summary of the ARRL DX CW Multi-Two entry from K8AZ. We did not have enough ops to make an all-out competitive effort, but everyone here got lots of time in the chair, plus lots of time to catch up with old friends. Competition aside, the fun we experienced was what this hobby is really about. It's worth mentioning that Katie, KE8LQR, was driven up here by her father, Rob on Saturday morning. Rob is a school system administrator, and other than supporting Katie in her radio interest, has not been bitten by the radio bug. After fetching breakfasts (from the Arch Club), I saw Rob in what we call the "Crew Lounge" for guys not on shift, and he was chatting with several of the regulars (while Katie and K8CX banged out Qs on the radios.) I asked Rob, "When you arrived, you told me you brought your laptop so you could work while Katie operated, and you should feel free to do your work; the Crew understands 100%." His reply was ,"No. THIS (referring to the ongoing BS session) is MUCH more interesting." Believe me, that made all of us long-time friends feel good. And Katie is a lucky teen to have a dad that is so supportive. Below is a summary of the results of the K8AZ CW effort. I plan to have the station on for SSB, although the composition of the crew is TBD.
