HI Tom,

Thanks for the note and update.  I'm very sorry to hear about your health 
problems but happy that you're having a good time anyway.

I've heard you guys often, regrettably for me, either with a marginal signal 
and/or a huge pileup + QRM.

My one contact was on 20 CW @0142 on the 9th.  This is the one band for which I 
have a decent antenna. I already had E3 on SSB and CW so I would have liked to 
work you on RTTY.  I understand there was some confusion on that mode.  I 
haven't tried to run up the "slots worked" totals, let the other guys have a 
chance.  If I can make an "easy" contact or two when or if the piles dry up of 
course I'll try.

Regards,

Wes
