Comments: Resisted the temptation to open the bottle of wine
won in 94 CQP to drink and drown out my blues for missing one
county with the party quickly coming to a close. On 20m SSB
I began shamelessly pleading for Colusa County. Somebody from
1-Land (SRI missed ur call in the excitement) broke in and said
he worked K0DI/M6 in Colusa on CW. Soonafter I found K0DI/M on
15m CW but he was in Eldorado! Later I switched to 20m CW and
there was N6BT/6 in Colusa! So, the wine bottle remains sealed.
This was a FB test for my new quad. It was nice to receive two
unsolicited compliments from Ken/K6LA saying (on 15m SSB) "I
wish everybody was as loud as you" and then (on 20m SSB) "You're
loud here, too." Next year, more of you CA guys/gals need to
attend the TN QSO Party! (For the winner, perhaps we can arrange
a free night in VP Al Gore's Guest Room? Nahhh.) TU for the Qs!
