[ADXA] Thanks for Great Meeting

[Dennis Schaefer]

Yes, Bernie mentioned that it might not be of as much interest to us “#1
Hogs” but I loved it.  I remembered every one, often in good detail about
the contact.  I remembered  BS7H being in the final hours coming in weak
from any direction on 20 CW and calling and calling.  I was thirsty and
hungry but I wasn’t about to get out of the chair.  My wife brought me a
cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin.  After a lot of calling, I got a
reply.  They left soon after that.  Later, I cornered W6RGG and told him
how much I appreciated him sitting out there on that little platform to
work me.

Every new one has special circumstances, it seems.  Often the difference
between an ATNO and failure is pretty slim.

Good memories!  DX IS!

73,
Dennis/RZ
