[HBQRP] FW: Homebrewers QRP Group

[Sean Edwards]

Saturday was my first visit to the Ashland QRP group.  Although I didn't 
win anything either, I had a great time.  It was a real treat to meet 
Doug Hendricks.  However, if I were to win something, it would be the 
Weber Tri-Bander on 80M 40M and 20M and the SLT+.
