[OKDXA] South Orkneys

[John Geiger]

Yes, I have been most impressed with S9DX's signals so far.  Hoping to get 
them on 30 RTTY and 40m.  Confident I will, that is how good there signal 
is. Now it is just finding time to get them when we have prop.

Think I will take a nap now after shoveling the drive.  Only 1 to 2 inches 
of snow here in Lawton. This old age stuff is getting to me, though, and I 
am only 44!
