| Wow 113 contacts! About 4:00 I was
counting the contacts and saw we were in the high 80's which made me think that 100
contacts were possible. I encouraged the folks to try a little harder to see what we could
do. This is by no means a contest, but a special event station does take a lot of effort
to make it work and the more we get out of our effort the better. Obviously we beat 100 -
thanks to all who pitched in. Last year we made 60 contacts so this was quite an
improvement. (The secret is to keep calling "CQ" as much as you can.)

| Our theme was "Talking to the World, Serving Pitt County". We had a lot of people come by and some listed their name to contact when we do another class.
