Well good luck, Steve, and can you confirm the dates of the CQ WPX CW 
contest for me?

How about May 23--24?

Tom,

I did work your friends at K8OSE early in the afternoon, around 1625 utc on
40 meter SSB.  I think it was the only station I worked from that county.
I have worked very little cw lately, and think I may  try  a cw only effort
next weekend for Florida QP.  I won't get much of a score, but  hope  I can
get the cw receptors in my skull loosened up for WPX at the end of May.

73, Steve KW3A
