I¡¯d pop for a K2B mug, too!? But agree the top HF op should receive special recognition.? Unlike a weekend contest, 13 Colonies is more like a radio marathon. ?
Congrats and thanks to everyone who activated, if it was for a dozen contacts or > 1000!

I agree with Jim.....I would be more than willing to offset any cost for the mug and shipping. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and hope to be invited again next year. I also think a get together somewhere in central Virginia would be a great idea.

David, at the outset you expressed concern about the paucity of volunteer operators but in the end I think you had a very enthusiastic crew that satisfied demand fully. Charge $5.25/award and give everybody
a cup, hi hi.

I won the New England QSO party last year.? Top US score receives a pretty sizable gift certificate for Legal Seafood.?

I had no idea there is a mug on the podium!!!? Now then, if I had spent another 10 hours or longer I might have won it.? Let¡¯s see, a mug is worth about $10 so that¡¯s $1/hour!??
When I first entered the labor market as a kid I think that was pretty acceptable!!!!? Yeah, yeah, this is not a job!

There has been soooo much discussion about using split on CW.? In no case did I find it necessary because the time
slots I had available were not at the beginning and at good band opening times, but I did hear others using split when it was clearly the only way to tame the crowd.

Next year¡!

The competition for the five K2B iron man/woman mugs is intense.
Six ops over 1,000!

Dave, I sent my 5 separate logs (4 CWT sessions and general logging) to your own email address.? Just want to make
sure you got them.? Not sure how many total contacts, but probably close to 1200, all CW.
