[Fists] Holiday Greetings!

[Thomas Roth]

Hi Stan and all,

xmas seems a good time for meeting old FISTS friends again. Worked so far today
and yesterday on 20 and 15: OH7QR, G0VTN, SV1DLS, UA6JD, KA2KDJ and K4FFF.
Worked them all with my 1954 Vibroplex Lightning Bug. Hearty congrats on yours
Stan !!! To date it correctly go to Randy Cole�s great "Vibroplex Collectors
Page" at:  http:///www.la.ca.us/frandy/index.html and go on to the "Date Your
Vibroplex" page.

Concerning bug operation, we have sort of a net over here every 10th, 20th and
30th of the month. We started out with about 5 or 6 ops. Now between 15-30
folks show up over the course of the evenings. Great fun is had by all and
there�s no pressure whatsoever. We call ourselves BUG - Bug User Group, ha ha.

Check us out at http://www.qsl.net/bug and go for the English introduction.
Would be great to have a similar bunch on your side of the pond. We might even
have a Bug2Bug sprint or something one day !!! ;-)
