[Dx-qsl] 7Z2AB

[Tony Martin W4FOA]

Hi Karl,
Reminds me of a time when I was TDY at a very rare African location.  The 
Embassy GSO officer was cleaning out the Embassy storage room and asked me 
if I could come to his office to help identify some "radio stuff" he had 
found....it turned out to be boxed, as in new in the box, unused Collins 
gear.  Did I mention that I was TDY?  It wouldn't surprise me if that "radio 
stuff" wound up....well I don't even want to think about it.

Karl, are you retired or still hitting some of those neat places 8-(

Tony, W4FOA
