[CW] Vibroplex Lightning seen in "The Unit"

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Ray,

You had a very nice signal last month when I worked you.  Of course I have
been looking for you every opening to SE Asia and finally heard you.  I
can't  count how many times I heard W7 and W6 calling you and you were too
weak to copy here, but finally I heard you with strong signals.

You are a Master Telegraphist of the First Order, sweet sounding radio
signals my friend.
