[PaQSO] qso p0arty complaints

[Howard Anderson]

I sent an e-mail to John Walters last week about not getting my certificate.
I received a response the next day that it would be sent out to me.  Don't
let the piece of paper spoil your fun.  We work from one of the worst
locations you can get. (base of 3 mountains with the open side to the
northeast) but we have a good time.  I only wish someone else would work
from ELK.

73, Howard KE3FO
