[LCC] Fw: RTTY Roundup AA5AU SO Unlimited LP

[Mark Ketchell]

      Awesome job, Don!  Most of us owe you a huge thank you for 
sharing the info on your web site. I think there was a line in a 
movie once, which went something like, "He taught us all WE know, but 
I'm not sure he taught us all HE knows. After seeing your score, I 
think I need a refresher course. Good job, Man.

73,
Mark, K5ER

>Despite that, I felt pretty good all day Sunday and didn't get tired at all. I

>A big thanks to the XYL for keeping me fed. After the contest she fixed me a

>The Unlimited category is definitely for me. I think I'll do it again next
