    Well, the 2013 Field Day results are in and official as posted in the December issue of QST.  I am happy to report that W8MRM Motor City Radio Club ranked number one in the State of Michigan in class 2A.  Our total score including bonus points is 4,996!  In a future issue of the Spark Gap, Stan K8SB will have a more detailed analysis of our performance.  As the 2013 Field Day chairperson, I want to thank the staff and all club members that participated in making this a great event.  Now we have to turn our attention to making the 2014 Field Day the best yet!
