[Dx-qsl] FR5DX

No problem, Tom. None of us are perfect.   There is a tradition for
geographical ignorance in USA - but hams ( DX-ers ) are more informed than
most - for obvious reasons.

Errare humanum est  -  the important thing is that we all learn from our
mistakes  ( and perhaps somebody else�s !! hi )

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
