Even this transplanted Southerner knows that it's RC Cola that goes  
with a Moon Pie.

Don was an excellent host and had put up an impressive booth. We  
chatted and remembered me from the N4N Field Day, where my K2/100 was  
the 80/15m CW station. (We did have some T5 reports on 80m, but  
discovered that was due to a malfunctioning power supply) Don treated  
me to the Moon Pie and bottled water. Thanks, Don.

Don had a bunch of products there, but I was most impressed with this  
"science fair" project. He had two easels -- one with photographs of  
the Elecraft product line, the other with a pictorial description of  
adapting N1MM for use with his Elecraft Rig.

Great job, Don!

Worth a shot.
