Hi All,

I must admit that as long as I've been a ham now, I kind of get jaded about
contesting and other activities.  this year I have barely turned on the
radio in the 160 meter contest but did hand out a few Q's last night.  But
this morning, about ten minutes ago, I got blown away.  I had turned on the
radio on 160 CW and was tuning around looking to see who might still be on
the lonely band this time of day, about 8:00 AM now as I sit here.  Lo and
behold, I heard a VA7 in BC who I worked without turning on the amp.  Then,
I tuned down frequency and caught the end of a call.  W0CWA?  HMM, kind of
late for a 0 station here in the Seattle metro area but turned on the solid
state amp and listened again.  Wow!  RW0CWA, now you're talking!  I called
him and got him first try.  I even got a recording of him. 
No, not working me.  I wasn't thinking that far ahead.  <GRIN>

Anyway, just goes to show you it's never too late for a thrill.

Good morning all and very73.

Kevin :)
