 Athens Boat Club "Founders Light" from the pavilion. |
 Co-host, Tom, K4TJD, trying to convince co-host, Pickett, AD4S, to get out of his car even though it was raining. |
 Paul, K4HCM's "BRIS1" transceiver. A Hudson 20 and Vectronics receiver in a TenTec enclosure. Sounds like Frankenstein to me. |
 Paul, K4HCM, "Put'en them in the log". Paul didn't work cw for about 35 years and now it is almost all he does. |
 Paul, K4HCM, trying to convince Pickett, AD4S, that Sharon, KG4HKO, would make a good cw op. |
 Wey, K8EAB, setting up his vertical strapped to the front of "Anchors O'Wey". |
 Wey, K8EAB, setting up his station. Notice the scrambled eggs on the bill of his cap. I think this means he is the captain of his ship. (at least for today) |
 Wey's K2 ready to go with weather protection. |
 Once Wey started transmitting, the local residents decided to head for better ground. |
 Sharon, KG4HKO, checking out the door prizes. |
 Pickett and Paul encouraging Sharon to make a CW contact. |
 Trying to decide whether to lite up 1 or 2 grills. We got 1 so hot we didn't have to worry about the 2nd one. |
 Matt and Russ watching the awards MC do his thing. |
 What do you mean we have to sign a waiver of liability before we get our door prizes..? |
 Here is John, AB4GK, just having a wonderful time. |
 John's Small Wonder Labs DSW.. I think it was a 20. |
 Pickett, AD4S, operating under cover. |
 Russ, AE4NY, checking to see if his antenna is really connected. |
 This is John, AB4GK's new key that he got at the TenTec hamfest. It is hand made and the keying mechanism is vertical. The base if from a "handy helper" soldering aid. |
 Close up of Russ's ear. Thanks Sharon..!! |
 Russ, AE4NY, having more fun than the law allows. |
 We've seen some interesting antennas but that is ridiculous. |
 Time for the co-hosts to decide on the awards. |
 Deep conference regarding the "Kudzu Special" which can be awarded for anything the hosts feel is appropriate. |
 Co-hosts making the announcements. Pickett is making sure that Tom is sticking with their agreements. |
 After the co-host conference, Pickett proceeded back to the pavilion. |
 MC Tom making the awards. |
 Check for the best DX. Pickett had a SH1 in Sweden but no QTH. Phil worked at LY1 in Latvia and all agreed that was the best DX. |
 Paul, K4HCM, accepting his "Most Unusual Station" award with his usual humbleness. |
 Joe, W4JHR, getting his "First Contact" award. Only 2 minutes into the event. "Way to go Joe..!" |
 A soggy Jack, K5FSE, accepts his "Kudzu Special" award for the worst operating location. |
 Wey, trying to figure out what the best 2nd door prize is. He got a great antenna book that was donated by Matt. |
 Sharon, KG4HKO, just after we suggested that she operate CW for 2 hours straight. |
 Sharon drawing calls for the door prizes. |
 Here Sharon and Tom are thinking about doing a "Zorba the Greek" dance. |
 Here they decided just to finish the door prize drawing. Pickett is trying to figure out what is going on here. |
