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
