Tom,
Glad all is working with the new setup. Hope to hear you this weekend
during the contest. We may have T storms tonight, but I hope to spend
a fair amount of time on during the weekend.
BTW, just got an e-mail from the Virginia QSO party yesterday and I won
the plaque for high score outside Virginia . Pretty happy to do this
for the third straight year, but maybe I'm the only one outside of VA
who submits a log.
Anyway, I'll try and split my time between CQ'ing and S and P operation
, so hope we cross paths.
73, Steve KW3A
