[PaQSO] Announcement

[Ray Bilger]

KB8TYJ-Tom,
Nice posting. Stick with us. We bicker now and then, but still keep it
going as the 'friendlyist' party.
Wish my health was better so I could activate one of the Counties that
you missed last year.

All:

I want to second Mike's thought that the Pennsylvania QSO Party is perhaps the best of all the State QSO Parties.

As a transplanted Pennsylvanian who now lives in Michigan, I try to participate in the Party every year, and have a blast every time I do it.

Makes me proud to have gotten my first ham ticket in Central Pennsylvania back in 1969.

Looking forward to the party again this year.

Missed all but 2 counties last year, so am hoping for a sweep this time around.

Mike,

Would like to take the opportunity to thank you and the rest of the club for everything you do to keep this one of if not THE best of the state QSO parties..

I'm looking forward to the annual trip to Jefferson County.
