Hello Tom,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your email. I had a little
problem with my computer but now it is working again!
Well, I made only 65 Ohio QSO Party contacts.
Not a very good record, but I had several interruptions during the afternoon
and evening.
The main thing is that I had a lot of fun doing it!
You had a great signal down here as well.
How are you liking your new RV? I just have wondered how large a trailer
did you get?
I don't mean to be nosy but I really enjoy camping. We use to have a
trailer for many years and I sure do miss it. All three of our children
have RV units and occasionally we get to visit them when they are camping.
Camping is in my blood!
Best 73.
Lowell W8QIY (W8D)
