[AMRadio] CME

[w5jo at brightok.net]

I just turned on the frequency and was letting my GK warm when I heard Don 
enter the conversation.

I listened about 5 more minutes and decided to not break up a good 
conversation, so I missed Fred.  Wish I had monitored longer so I could say 
I heard him.

73,

Jim

Hi Jim, thanks for the signal report--we had a FB QSO last evening
from around 6:30 to 9 p.m., me, Don K4KYV, Fred KC4MOP and John
WA9ZBW.  All were armchair copy.  I didn't hear any other activity
nearby.  But, wx supposed to be cloudy here tonight so no light show
for me I reckon.

Merry Xmas
