[JMS] W1HRX and the AWA 29 QSO Party - Control Station Call-To-Duty

[Dennis]

Hi Don,

I would be willing to run it again this Feb.  I had a lot of fun two years ago.  I should have a better signal this year with a new 70' tower and 3 ele Steppir & 2ele 40m beam at the top....

As before I would use my 500w James Millen station with HRO-5RA1 receiver.

73's, Dennis, k0eoo
