I tried working CR9AH I think was the call in Macaw over by China not sure
of the spelling, One day I heard him coming in 599 and I was working on my
D X 100 half way out of the case. I slammed it back into the case by
lifting it up slightly and broke off the V F O tube. I could have layed
down and cried hi. I had those tubes marked for spares and I hurried and
got another one and put it in and hooked it up and got him on first call in
big pile up, I was shaking like a leaf. Sorry to bore you with my story.
