ARRL Sweepstakes Photos On-line

ARRL Sweepstakes at W1MJ, November 7-8, 2009I've posted photos from our 2009 ARRL Sweepstakes CW effort at my friend's station, W1MJ in Belmont. Eliot says it's the first time anyone has operated "multi-op" from his modest station. I certainly had a swell time, and it prepared me well for operating in the CQWW CW contest at K0TV this past weekend.
