[SADXA] Hello!

[Jerry]

Hi Bill, again:

It's good to hear from you again and that you have found a way to work 
DX without hearing it. That is a whole new concept I have had trouble 
getting my arms around. In any event if it gets you on the air that is a 
big positive.

Let me propose this of you. Join the Club at the annual Christmas party 
coming up on December 8 which if I remember, where you live, is just 
about in walking distance of where the club will be gathering. If you 
are interested write me an email and I can give you the details of when 
and where.

And welcome to the ham band again.

73's, Jerry

W6XI
