[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Thank you Tom. It was a pleasure to have you join us from Colorado Sunday.

When you called me "the golden voice of Hallicrafters" I knew right away who 
was behind that microphone!

Your signal was 5/9+10 Q5 at the outset. Then that really peculiar QSB 
jumped in and eventually we both lost contact with each other. In fact, I 
started out working you long path as I had the beam pointed towards New 
Hampshire, swung it toward you and my signal dropped down! I tried the 
Hustler 4BTV and you were stronger, so I swung the beam back toward NH! Then 
I went to the IAC 20 meter Double Bazooka mono band wire with east/west 
orientation, and nearly lost you!

When the Net started I had a station in St. Thomas I could have used as my 
primary relay station. He was just visiting, however, and moved along.

I hope you drift on in again OM and maybe that time the band will be a 
little more stable. Best holiday wishes Tom. Rumor has it that Frogzilla has 
a new holiday tale currently in the works -
