[50mhz] Just worked #50 on 6!

[peter markavage]

That's how it happens sometime. When I snagged Hawaii for my 50th many
years ago, I happened to be cutting the lawn and decided to take a break.
Came in, sat in front of the rig to have a soda and a smoke. Heard a weak
signal breaking the noise and there was KH6IAA. Called him; made the
contact and in a few minutes he disappeared. Just happened to be right
time, right place.
Congratulations on your 50th.

Pete, WA2CWA
