        Thanks to Dave Clingerman,W6OAL, and wife Marjorie outside
Parker Colorado for use of his station. Dave and I did some show and
tell of old QSLs from when we were both in the Teenage Amateur Radio
Club back in Akron Ohio in the late 50's. I was W8TTN and he was W8USL.
        Too bad condx from Saturday didn't carry thru to Sunday or else
I probably could have beat KR2Qs QRP record. Congradulations to Doug
Zwiebel, KR2Q, who did beat his own record and probably won his own USA
QRP trophy. I had no European opening on 10m on Sunday. The 15m European
opening on Sunday was much shorter and not good for many QSOs.   73 Phil
