[CW] N6SL - BEN RUSSELL NCS SOWP/QCWA/SIDESWIPER NETS SK:

[Benny Owens]

BEN AND I USED TO BELONG TO QCWA 109 IN BATON ROUGE LA.  HE WAS A SWELL GUY
AND ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO VISIT EYEBALL OR ON CW.  ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO HE
PUSHED ME INTO A QCWA QSO PARTY AND I WOUND UP WINNING THE CW PART.  I WAS
LUCKY AND SCORES WERE LOWER THAN NORMAL BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED
WITHOUT BEN.
