The entries above 24GHz were for laser contacts in each case--but that won't always be so!  W5UWB makes good use of Meteor Scatter--both traditional and WSJT.  KMØT just dabbled in the program this year.  He now has three harmonics limiting his operating time.  Art Jackson, KA5DWI reports that although his scores are down this year, he had two highlights.  One, working state number 49 on 6m via Au induced backscatter.  Second, setting the continental "tropo over land" distance record on 2m with K1WHS.

This year marks the 9^th year of the program.  Participation over the years went like this:  47, 12, 12, 13, 17, 28, 38, 31, and 35.  Please keep participating in the program if you are already and if you haven't yet, give it a shot!

If you have computer skills to help create web-based entry forms, please step forward and help make this program more accessible to participants.  There is a good chance the program will be handed off to a new volunteer administrator during the next year.  The program will continue and only improve with a program administrator whose only CSVHF function is the program.  I apologize for the even later than last year wrap-up on the program.

The 2004-2005 Program year is now in progress--please participate!

If you're within range of Wisconsin, look for the Badger Contesters 2m net on Wednesday nights at 2100 Central Time on 144.250.  Net Control varies from week to week.  Check-ins from Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota have been heard.
