For the IOTA?  And what of South Padre?

Sorry for this Steve, but, I have returned today from Corpus Christi to 
Austin, unsuccessful in my attempt to persuade the xyl to stay another 
day, so the eyeball QSO will have to wait until next time.

I spent all day yesterday there at the USS Lexington; it was well worth 
it, and I hope to set up the operation ahead of time next time (I 
checked on the USS Missouri, and I can do it there for sure.  But the 
deck of the Lexington, being a lot of steel plate and framework where it 
was wood, has a certain ground plane appeal doesn't it?

I would love to see it sometime; thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, 
replying from Austin, its a bit out of the way now, hi.
