[Fists] CW op Wanted for Field Day

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Bob,

It is always nice to hear the W6RO callsign which usually emits from the
radio room of "QUEEN MARY/GBTT".

I always wondered who was the excellent operator of that station on Field
Day.

Now I can state my admiration.

Fine operating, RG.

There are some recordings of the Queen here:
