'twas I! Guilty a charged.

I'm terribly sorry I missed working you... there' were a couple instances 
where, if I used my imagination, I thought I might have heard someone 
calling, but I could never be certain enough to attempt to pull them out... 
I've got pretty decent 'ears' on CW, and if the signal was even the least 
bit copyable, I thing I worked them.

Well, at least you DOD manage to catch us somewhere!  Good for you.

Even though the web site might indicate otherwise, IF you worked W0O within 
the past two days, you do NOT have to send us a QSL!! It is our intention 
to QSL 100% to evryone we worked... that is as long as YOUR ADDRESS it 
current with the FCC. If not, you're card will be returned to me and then 
you will get a chance to pay the patage for the next card... <G>

If you worked up and if your FCc address is NOT good, send me an e-mail 
with the correct address for when we do mail the cards... hopefully within 
two weeks.

Thanks so much to all who WORKED (and who SPOTTED) us! We had a ball and 
worked a BUNCH of K1s and K2s.

By the way, the KAT100 worked LIKE A CHAMP!  I had two antennas (80/40 
dipole @ 30' and a Butternut vertical) at my fingertips. The KAT100 tuned 
both on ALL BANDS with a 1.2: or better SWR, and I was able to switch 
instantly between them for changing propagation and for A/B antenna 
comparisions.

73 to all.
