[nrv-hams] Carter's 5 band DXCC !!

Fri Dec 30 15:27:07 EST 2011

Oh, Roger! If you only knew! Maybe I, myself, made all the contacts, but Kay is the one who helped tremendously in making sure I kept all the records correctly, and who checked and re-checked, and then checked again that all was in order. Without her help I would hardly register in the Census!
73,
Carter

Carter, 

CONGRATS on achieving the 5 band DXCC!!   However, I must give Kay substantial credit for keeping your nose to the proverbial grindstone while you were pursuing this significant milestone.
