[Drake] An apology from AD5KM

[Brad Low]

Hi, Michael :-)

No, I should be the one to publicly apologize.  I
should not have had the reaction that I did.  I do
hope that you forgive me for that my friend.  I let my
sense of humor go out the window today.  I guess
dragging into work after a weekend in the woods can do
that :).

The special event was the first annual and we hope to
do it again next year and exceed the 233 contacts we
did get this year on 80/40/20/15 meters.  As for me
giving up ham radio, no chance.  I have been at this
for 10 years and hope to continue for many more years.
 Besides, I upgraded to Extra in June and changed
callsigns.

Hope to catch you on the air some time.  Please forget
that I had said anything.

Humbly and respectfully yours,
Brad
