[JMS] AM QSO Party

[Edward Gable]

Hello Jim:  Hey, great job on the AWA AM QSO Party, thanks for being there 
and representing the AWA in such an able fashion.  Sounds like you really 
poke some RF up into VE land - hihi.  Sorry about the last minute antenna 
party (of one ?) but that just seems to be part of the game.  Jim, I missed 
getting the log.  Perhaps you were having attachment problems, but do get a 
copy of it to me by some fashion.  I'll put that in the offical W2AN file as 
well as have it to answer the QSL card requests.  73,

Ed Gable  W2AN
