Hey Chuck,
Congrats on the JA7 and the Fox! I too caught him(Scott) tonight...could
barely get him between several other stations all over him , but got
him..with his patience. So no skunk here this year and another one for TX.
The Hangover Hustle didn't produce large results but was fun. See you at
the NORTEX meeting Saturday.
Happy New Year es 72 Joe KK5NA
