running the callsign of W4ML (club call) we won the multi operator Multi transmitter categoryfrom Bobs place this year.  

I recently reviewed Subway here. Today I had a craving for a nice sub sandwich so i scoured the internet for the reviews and came up with trying a "Zero's" sub sandwich. Being from New Jersey I have been spoiled with good food liike  nice jewish rye breads and italian breads, the best pizza in the world, and meats like kielbasa from hungary and real subs that actually have meat on them. So i jumped in my GTO and went on my hunt. I arrived at Zeros and the guy behind the counter said "it might be a while i am extremely busy" i thought to myself ok there are 2 people here beside me maybe he has a phone order. I waited for him to stop chopping up the mystery meat on the grill and looked at the subs he was making, to my amazement he had to rearrange the meat so it would cover the bread better and the customer wouldnt get a mouthfull of bread. I ordered an "Italian sub" supposedly with ham, salami, cappacola and cheese. when the guy took my sandwich out of the oven I was appauled, I didnt ask him to heat it up but the menu does say hot.

I got an email from the Central Virginia Contesting Club that I won both awards last year, one for most band entities and one for the highest percentage of needed countries. I have been working on my totals all year in 2008 but didnt think i would even come close to the other guys but they said I ran away with it, the next closest guy was KF4QQY (barry) with 150 B/E This year I have not been really trying cause I dont have that great of antennas on the WARC bands, all i have is a full sized 80M vertical loop @100 ft and a butternut vertical (useless).  

Bill Schuchman, right, and Rich Ferguson contact other radio operators using morse code, Saturday, as part of the Amateur Radio Field Day. The Field Day is the nation's largest "ham" radio on-air event drawing an estimated 35,000 hams each year. Using battery and solar-powered equipment and portable antennas, it is not only a competition to make the most contacts, but a drill for emergency communication skills used in disaster situations.

I went over to Bob's  and he presented me with this certificate for winning 3rd place in the CQ Worldwide Morse code contest last year .              

Two weeks age me and BOB W4MYA operated in the CQ worldwide world prefix contest.I operated only about 15 hours hunting and pouncing while bob ran them on other bands, I managed to work a few good ones and picked up VP6DX (Ducie island) on 10 meters which was unheard of from the east coast.Bobs excellent antenna system and skills really make me want to do better, our combined score earned us 5th place in north america for a multi-multi. In 48 hours we managed to work about 2000 people mainly concentrating on the lower bands (80 & 160) we even slept and i had to do house chores sunday before i could go back.I am going to operate a few more contests before summertime in order to help fellow HAMS get their prefix counts up. last year we won the virginia QSO party contest using W4V as a callsign. its starting to get addicting.
