Dennis,

QSL Many thanks for nominating yourself for the 2023 ADXA DX Hog

Seriously, good deal. Glad you're getting "in the log" on multiple

Also, tnx info on the hamfest. I had not heard any rumors but I'm not 
surprised there are some floating around.

Stay in those pileups and keep nipping at John and George!
