Steve:
I'm trying to work out a possible scked with Kevin (K7RX), but am not quite
sure yet about our plans for the coming week-end. We may go camping, but
then again, we may not. I could work you with the TS480 and screw-driver in
the RV, but would really like to try the DXCC dipole from here at the home
QTH. So, let's keep in touch, and see how things play out as the week-end
gets closer.
Regarding my possible call change, I think I'm going to stick with KB8TYJ
for the time being. I guess maybe I've had enough change for a while.
(grin)
However, once we're totally sure that the job will pan out here in Colorado
on a long-term basis (which I think it will), I may re-think the call sign
change issue. I still really like WX0TOM, although it's a pretty bad CW
call.
73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ

Tom,
Congrats on getting moved and set up in such a short time frame. Hope to
catch you on the air some time. You are a good bit farther away, but no
problem with the right band and time of day.
Any decision on changing the call sign?
73, Steve KW3A
