John,

We talked on the telephone a few weeks ago.  I was calling from
Georgia, and attempting to locate Lee Johnston, N5JUM.  You
explained that he has moved to California.  My reason for calling
was to request a sked contact on 30m CW.

In our conversation you offered to pass my request to friends in
your area if I would send an email with the details.  Thus, my present
note.

My rig is Homebrew QRP 5w (from scratch, based on the designs of
Wes Hayward, W7ZOI).  The rig is a 3-band transceiver (40/30/20),
and am attempting to WAS, all CW, on each band.  I have AK contacts
logged on 40 and 20, and would like to sked one for 30m.

My CW is not good, about 12-13wpm, and I will be pleased to go a
lot slower !!.  I am semi-retired, and can be available at any time of
the day.  At 5w, my signal will be weak, and may require a lot of patience
as well as very good ears.

If you will please pass this note to friends in your area, I would be
pleased
to hear from any one of them (several of them would be even better, hi hi).

There are two operators in Alaska that I would like to exclude from
the above request.  Both great gentlemen, they earlier helped me log the
20m and 40m contacts.  I am already greatly in their debt, and would not
wish to further impose on there good nature.  They are Les Buchholz , KL7J,
in Soldnota; and Bob Prescott, WL7WH, in Anchorage.  If you ever meet
either Les or Bob in a bar, please buy them a glass of the best scotch
available and send me the bill !!!

Thanks very much for your help.
