[Lowfer] VE7SL in EN90xn

[Steve]

Hi Mike ...I heard you calling me many times, just after my CQ so I could 
tell that you were hearing me at times. I sent many RST reports to you, 
hoping to hear one coming back but I gather that things were just too 
marginal for you.

I did have a nice solid two-way with NO3M (at 0700Z) but his wonderful RX 
system was doing all of the work I'm sure.

It was close for us last night Mike and many thanks for the fine effort. It 
would have been just great to have completed with you.
