During last night's live broadcast we also gave away some prizes to those folks who tuned in online. Our plan was to ask some trivia questions and give the prizes to the first to answer each question, but there were so many of you in the chat room (over 900 people) that the screen was difficult for our MCs to decipher. For that reason, the following prizes were awarded at random from the crowd:

Steven Gehring, NL7W, KE9OL, Ted Kleeman, Mark Steele, KD2NOM, Richard Subers, KD2OXT, Randall Rueff, K9RMR
