Sounds great, Steve.  And, congrats once again on the Virginia QSO Party
out-of-state first place!  One of these days, I'll have to try that contest,
and see if we can get a little competition going here.  Of course, you're
much closer to Virginia than I am, so you'll likely have a significant
advantage over me, but that's ok.  It would be fun anyway.

Will look for you on the air this week-end.

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
