[KCDXC] Good Turn Out

Sun, 19 Jan 2003 21:27:39 -0600

I would like to thank all the KCDXC members who were kind enough to give me
a call during the NAQP.  Have not gone over the log in detail but I know I
worked a bunch of you guys.  Other than renaming Jim (N8AU) for a brief
period think everything went well. Commiserated with Chuck(K0XM) and Steve
(K0OU) for a few seconds on the lower bands.  I think a good time was had by
all.  Sorry you got Hamfest poisoning Bill (AK0A).
73, Tom...N0AG
