Steve:

I really appreciate all of you coming to help.. I just wish Scott would 
have been able to join us..

I'd like to extend another invitation to all of you to come down for 
another contest, perhaps a CW one
like ARRL DX CW - or - we could make an effort to come your way. 
Whatever, it is jun fun to have a bunch
of you guys here to make the weekend..

Thanks again..   You all are always welcome..

73,
