[PaQSO] P5 North Korea

[Glenn O'Donnell, K3PP]

It wouldn't have mattered, Matt. Like me, you would have heard nothing but static. I'd be surprised if ANYONE on the east coast worked him. Condx were totally shut down by El Sol.

Ron is right, Dom should be commended! Even though I didn't get him (this time), he opened the door for us all. It opened just a crack, but that's WAY more than anyone thought possible!

Hey, it's too bad Dennis Rodman isn't a ham! ... WHOA! Did I really say that? Oh the humanity! HI! :-)
