Lou:
The pleasure was equal on this end, too.
I think it is fair to say that this is the best 40-meter set-up I ever have
enjoyed.
As for the folks above me, I tried my best. ... It is just so hard to find
and keep a vacant frequency in the General class portion of the 40-meter
band.
I know our round table moves when we need to, and, although I'm sure some
folks get disappointed from time to time, we all recognize that our
frequencies are shared.
Anyway, this was one of those ham radio operating experiences I'll remember
for a very long time, and I am glad that at least some of you got to
experience it with me.

Tom,
Not only did you sound terific in the shack on the K3 but you even came
through well upstairs in the bedroom on the old Radio Shack dx440. Not sure
why the folks above you were upset. After all, you guys had been on that
frequency for hours. Anyway, you did a great job and I was pleased to be
able to work you. lou WA3MIX Lou Kolb Voice-over Artist:
