[Steve Anness]

Welcome back to HF!  If you reach me off the list I am happy to arrange a
sked when you are ready.  Might be tough QRP to QRP but always worth a
try.  I think you will be very pleased with the KX2, mine has mostly made
digital contacts up until this point but I have been very pleased with it.
Hope to hear you on the air!
