Hi Jan, Nice to hear from you.  But sorry to hear that Franta has passed 
away.  I am also 67, next month 68.  I will be operating in the SOC 
Marathon Sprint for several hours as W1SOC.  I'll look for you at 2100Z 
on 14060.  Will be using new Elecraft K3 and Cushcraft A4S at 65 feet. 
I think we have a good chance for a QSO.

I will CC your message and my reply to our SOC Reflector.  Perhaps other 
US members may also look for you.

73, Bob, N4BP (Czech SOC Nr. 19 & US SOC Nr. 1)
