On the left, Scott, KG4PZQ, operates HF while Eddie Campbell, KG4SNE, logs.  On the right in the foreground, Ken Graf, N8FF, works CW while Bryan Weil, (waiting for his callsign), logs.  Ken has been at it for 4 1/2 hours since starting at 8 PM. (W4YDY had to take a break from logging and take the picture.)
Ken, N8FF, still at it the next morning after taking a couple of short breaks. Still another logger, Murray, K4MHM at the computer. By this time, all states had been worked and only a couple of Providence's in Canada had not been contacted.

Notice the the sides have been removed from the shelters, but Ken, N8FF is still at it on CW. He's been going for over 12 hours at this time!
Two shelters have been taken down, but Ken (in the green shirt) is still making contacts on CW!

A view from Ken's logger's position as Murray, K4MHM,  and others disassemble shelters.
Ken, N8FF, still pounding the brass!  It's past 12 Noon, he is intent on making 750 contacts!  (W4YDY took the picture while logging was delayed for a minute while Ken was looking for another QSO.)

Ken just wouldn't give up!  Murray, K4MHM, and Tod, KG4CCX, use a pipe to pry Ken from his operating position so they could pack up.  Ken made over 700 contacts, all on CW except for 2 on SSB. Bands used were 20, 15 and 10 meters.
Murray, K4MHM, and Dave, KV4CN, finish packing the equipment from the last table, Ken's operating position.
