[Elecraft] Contest QTH

[J F]

Dang Jozef!!

Could it be our Eastern European Ancestry providing
such wonderful luck?? ;o) JeanneE does have a loverly
call. I'm trying to talk Rita into getting her
license, no luck yet...

We shoulda looked you up when we were there in July!

Next time we head up that way it'd be nice to have an
eyeball Q. I know we've worked plenty of times, will
have to check the other calls.

What do you have for 160?? Our longest radials are
about 120', most are 70' or less, but have a lot of
'em. They don't stay in the clay as well as sod
unfortunately.

Not sure if our sheltie is inclined to study for an
exam hihi

72,
Julius
