K4HM pecks out contacts on cw, with AC4ZO observing in the background.  Below, WA9SZL (out from the shadow of the water tower, but still in the shade of the tent) breaks out the bugs.  And speaking of bugs, the Capitol lawn was chigger-free, for those of you who went to Apex and might want a change of pace.
Choose your weapon:  Bugs, paddles, or computer.  What, no Straight Key?

WA4AVU and KA3QPU teamed up on 75 SSB into the evening.  Below, KN4AQ and KD4ACW finish up the contest on 20 SSB.

And farther below, our "beauty" shot of the tri-band beam standing proudly in front of the Capitol.  You can also make out a sloping "J-Pole" and the dipole feed line.
