[Elecraft] Sad day for amateur radio

[Paul Gates]

I guess I am like k3ese! I like to sit back and work CW in the evenings. To 
me it is very relaxing. Early Wed. morning... 3AM... could not sleep so I 
worked KZ8G who just happened to be in the town in Michigan where my 2 older 
children went to highschool.. Had a nice chat. I was at the American History 
Museum yesterday in Wash. DC and did manage to work on CW a guy in Kansas 
City, MO. I was surprised because the bands have been so lousy  during the 
day.
