HI,

 I assume you got your el58 / K5N card ok.

I worked and RX'd cards for 14 New Countries. and about 50 grids.  Although, 
I havent Rx'd all of the cards back for the grid squares,  some guys in 
california drag there feet. ( and Mexico )........ All in all I had a BLAST 
!

 I mainly used a Force 12  9 element Yagi at 85 FT.
with 100 watts.  it was the BEST season I have ever seen.

                                                           Joey
