Greetings all; I thought I'd provide you a recap of the 3 Steves and a Kurt DXpedition to W1AW. Yes, as we always do, we had a great time. To start the day we headed to Lentini's to shop around and to pick up some odds & ends. Then off for a cuisine lunch at Hooters and then back to the league. Joe NJ1Q was all ready for us having all of the computers networked together so we can keep track of everyone while we operated. The logging software of choice was Writelog, which was quite simple to use. Bands were not in that bad of shape. We managed to put 460 Q's in the log, operating as W1AW/90, which I might add is a real pain to send CW..... Here is the breakdown, by band with our Q count: Band Q's Mode Operator 40m 49 SSB Steve - KF2TI 30m 95 CW Kurt - W2MW 20M 174 SSB Steve - KB2ENF 17m 13 SSB Steve - ? (a drop in visitor named Steve. No kidding) 15M 107 SSB Steve - N2IFA 6m 22 SSB Andrew - N2IFB (Son of Steve - N2IFA) The only modes we operated were SSB and CW. KF2TI was to busy collecting his DXCC Honor Roll award from the league as well as working W1AW from his car to play on other modes besides SSB. The following stations will be getting the coveted 3 Steves and a Kurt certificate (suitable for framing)... KF2TI, KO7X,WB2LEZ,AF2C,W0JM,N2WB,WB4CKO,N1DL,K5WPN and VA5DX Some of the local stations that we worked are Jeff - WO5D, Steve - K0LBY and Bob - W2WG I'd like to comment that if you have not had the opportunity to travel to the league; it is well worth the trip. The station manager, Joe - NJ1Q is very helpful and is an all around great person. You have the option just to visit the station or play with some REALLY NEAT, state of he art equipment (except for the old Icom 781 that I've been using for many years ;-) ). One final note. I've been working to get the 3Steves&Kurt website up again. When I do that I will have more pictures to share with all of you. I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Best of 73; Kurt - W2MW ------- End of forwarded message ------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
