18. List all callsigns of all operators and number of QSO's completed
of the GOTA Station:

For those that had not seen it before, we did demo APRS and PSK. Thanks to Mike (WD5EFY) and Mike (W5VET) for providing the gear and set-ups for the demos

Once again, the important part - The Eats - were great, and much appreciated. Thanks to Charlene Ham, Sissy Herron (KD5UBO), and Kathleen Hayes (KD5WIC) for providing the goodies and for their efforts. Amazing how hungry you can get just keying a mic Hi Hi. And, Lemon Cake and coffee at 3 in the morning can keep an operator going............
