[Elecraft] EMBARRASSING EH!!?!.....

Sat Mar 8 21:27:00 2003

Hello Bruce,

I did the same thing today.  This guy came back to my CQ with a "N6KR K2 1
FT CA" and I asked him to fill in his number.

I guessed that I would not be the only one to do that <g>.

Very nice Party---I had QSOs on all six bands.

73, Harry W8YMO
