[Wswss] Generator giveaway - 41 e-mails later!

[Wayne Overbeck]

I arrived home about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and checked 
my e-mail for the first time all day.  There were 41
e-mails concerning the two generators I'm giving away.
 
I heard from a bunch of old friends from w-a-y back as
well as from lots of people I've never met.  There
were
messages from representatives of eight different clubs
that are dear to my heart because they have hosted me
as a guest speaker--and then invited me back to speak
a second time!

Here's the list of winners in this
early-bird-gets-the-worm contest.

I posted the offer on the SCCC and WSWSS lists about 2

a.m.  The first message arrived at 3:48 a.m. from
W6RTW, who claimed the Makita generator on behalf of
the Riverside (County?) Amateur Radio Club, W6TJ.  He
or someone from Riverside will need to make a trip
down the 91 soon.  I know some Riverside people get up
early to commute long distances, but 3:48 a.m.???? 
Good grief!

The second e-mail, posted at 5:54 a.m., was from
NT6AA.
He said he'll take either generator, so the Onan is
his if he wants it.  The third message was from K1USC
at 6:14 a.m.  He wanted the already-claimed Makita. 
Fourth was N6VI at 6:17 a.m.  He also wanted the
Makita.  KB6SSF wrote at 6:24 a.m. to say he would
like to have both generators for the Inland Empire
Amateur Radio Club.

>From there on, the list reads like the results of
Field Day or the June VHF contest.  I think this means
both generators will have good foster homes soon.

Thanks to everyone who sent me a note.  I wish I
had 41 generators to give away.

73,
Wayne, N6NB
