Hello Mike, I played with the contest, and managed to work 133 Q's.  Nothing
great, but it was consistant with my partial interest in the contest.
I spent some amount of time working out the logistics of getting another
tower that my friend Stan just purchased in Mesa, AZ from its current home
to my QTH for temporary storage.  I have a friend down in the Tucson area
that will eventually haul the tower to Stan's farm in northern Florida.
This one is the baby brother to the 106 foot US Tower that he already has.
This one is the 89 foot version.  This tower might be it.  He said that he
would erect 8 towers, and this one makes number 8, and is the shortest one
of the bunch.

Subject: Not Quite a Washout on 6 Meters, But Nothing Much to Brag About

The band opened for about 2 hours this afternoon.

I managed 27 contacts, 18 of which were on CW.

I basically worked everything I could hear.

The highlight was a contact with WA0CSL in North Dakota.

Mary has been on 6 meters for a very long time.

My first time to talk with her was when I was running a Knight Kit 
TR106 AM rig that I bought used in 1975.
