WA9ALS (Multi-Two)

This was my first time networking Writelog, first time operating in a networked RTTY operation, and first time hosting a guest op - all fantastic FUN! I had to post these photos after seeing Bob's, Raj's, and Carol's photos at http://www.geocities.com/ki6dy/CQWW_RTTY_2001.html. Although we didn't think to proudly photo the garbage can like they did, ours would've competed favorably!

L-R, WA9ALS (John), KB9YTW (Wes), and WD9GMK (Alan). John is operating the A station. Wes is waiting his turn on station B and watching the bandmap for mults. Alan is operating the B station. The A station computer had 2 monitors for extra real estate. You can see the secondary monitor to my left with 4 or 5 bandmaps open for a "View of the Contest". We used Writelog in networked configuration - It was really fun!

That's apple cider in the jug - wonder how long it's been sitting there?

This is KB9YTW sacked out in the shack near the radios for the night with man's best friend! Snick is not usually allowed in the house much, but this was a special weekend, and I think he liked the diddles! (At least he didn't howl.)
