[MicroHAMS] QSO with W1AW

[Kenny Richards]

Thanks to everybody that tried to hear me.  I have a sneaking
suspicion that the beam was pointed the wrong way which didn't make
this any easier. (I'd never seen the M2 rotator controller before and
the station manager was a backup and wasn't familiar with it either.)

I've took quite a few pictures, which I'll roll up into a slide deck
for an upcoming meeting.

73,
Kenny
