[Dx-qsl] FR5DX

[Tom Anderson]

Rag:

A thousand most humble pardons of my most serious, grievous misstep of saying
D44BS was in the Canary Islands rather than politically and geographically
correct Cape Verde Islands. An appropriate number of lashings for the faux pas
with a 3 foot piece of RG8 has been applied.   What I get for not rechecking
e-mail before hitting send, anyway I got the prefix right.

73 es good DX.
Tom, WW5L
