Tom,

Well it was fine for what it was, but I have a long way to go.  If Lloyd 
had run power and had a full weekend,  he  would have done well over 
1,000 QSO's.    Some of our CW friends from across the pond like David 
and Terry  could have outdone  my total in  just a couple of hours.

I have made some progress in the past year and a half since I decided to 
stop looking at CW as a necessary evil and try and enjoy it.   With a 
little progress each year, I'm on my way to being a world class CW 
contest op  in about 2036.

Hope you can get the antenna up.     Beside FD, there is also NAQP SSB 
and CW this summer.

73, Steve KW3A
