38GeneralSingle RestroomIf the weather was less hot and humid, we likely would have had more visitors. Given that, would the single toilet in the building have been sufficient? Perhaps renting a porta-john would be beneficial.

47
46BonusNatural Power QSO0 pts - didn't recordSetup specific time and station for this - put it into the schedule. For 2025, we could:  Set up solar panel and discharged batteries as early as possible Saturday (or sooner, says nothing about how far ahead they are charged).  Either put a lower power radio in for 5 QSOs or switch one of the stations for the 5 QSOs.  Could also be a fun thing to do Sunday morning if the rate slows.  Recommend either data or CW vs phone.YesN4RAF

47BonusElected Officials0 pts - sent out letters but none showed
49
48BonusGOTA PointsGot 15 of possible 100More robust GOTA station. Also have Scouts while on HTs use the K4LRG or GOTA callsign and record their contacts in the log so we can add them as GOTA contacts or maybe even 'real' contacts
