We had our share of problems but all in all it was a good FD for us this year.
Great to see all the good ops we had there including The phenom Cal K0DXC.
Man can he rock on CW!
We had overall a very good group of seasoned as well as newer up and coming ops there. And as usual our setup crew was the best in the business.

Unfortunately a house fire (I am the fire dept. chaplain) kept me from the roast so I thought I would take this venue to vent my remarks and invite others to do the same.

I was going to wear my clergy collar and make the following remarks.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here to remember the life of Mike. IN life he helped so many hams but now his key is silent. (Pause acting like someone is talking)
