[OKDXA] Six Meters

[Ken Case]

Hi Alan,

You mentioned K5VRX.  Roger and I were in HS together in Tulsa back in the 
early 60's.  Lynn (W5LC) and I know him well.  He has a pretty good setup in 
VA and seems to work anything and everything.

I know he retired once.

If you talk with him again, tell him hi from us.
