Lanny, Mike can flat dig them out. I've been on the receiving end of a few of his midnight text messages letting me know that a good one was on, and to get up and head for the shack. He has put me on several new ones as well as many band counters. Of course being one of my best friends and us doing this way before joining ADXA has nothing to do with my opinion. LOL!

I've been out all day, so missed S79 on 17 for a Challenge point. Hope to catch up with him later.

Good going Mike! You'll be a contender for the DX Hog Award in November!

You know me, I love to share my old QSLs, but this one is special:

S79WHW, "Wild Horse Willie", was from my hometown, Springfield, VT, and had gone to the Seychelles to work at the RCA Tracking Station in the early 60's. He never came home! He was a regular on the Snooky's (KA1DE) 15M list net and I had several occasions to say "Hi".

73, Lanny K1LEC
