[OKDXA] Rovers

[Mark Duensing]

Well let me tell you I is good to have an experienced driver!!! I acn tell
you first hand if we need to do panic stops and backing on the highway Dave
's got it down pat.  I am a veteran of the Generals driving.  It sure gets
you heart to pumping.  I wont mention the person we stopped and visited with
back in Dave stomping grounds.  The stories I could tell. Hi hi. I cant wait
for the QSP party I think it is going to be a woot... Of course any time I
am around those "Gomers" I have fun.... Yes the CW will be handled by the
High Speed CW operator General Dave.  Hope you all can send fast enough for
him anything under 50 wpm he cant copy very well...;)
Hope to log you in the contest and GL
