[QCWA Hotlist] Orlando HamCation 2014

[ve6afo at 3web.com]

Hi Al,

Thanks for the extensive report on the greatest Hamest in Florida! If 
it were not so far to travel, I would have been there too. One day I 
will make a point of incorporating a good reason to be in Florida 
during a February, but us Canuks who live out west, usually find 
ourselves bathing in the sun in Arizona or Palm Beach, CA.!

I am pleased Chapter 45 did so well, and my hat is off to all of the 
many volunteers who made it all happen!

Thanks!

73,

Ken Oelke, VE6AFO
