It is breaking my heart! Probably just a coincidence, but since Mike has been off, the bands have surrendered some good DX. I've tried to get Mike to retire, and when he wouldn't do it, I threatened to injure his other arm.

Thanks Mike for all the good DX spots and the fun we had chasing over the last couple months. I am definitely sad, and DXing just won't be the same.

Be careful and don't over do when you get back to work!

Well Folks my leisurely DX hunting time is almost over. Picked up my return to work note today. I go back to work this Thursday. Been off almost 12 weeks and the DX hunting has been productive.

I think Randy would like it if I retired but a little too early for that. We have been tag teaming the DX while I've been off. Ya'll keep Randy busy while I'm back at work hi.
