Greetings to all from Austin, TX, where WA4ILO and I have just returned
from a nice dinner with Central TX DX & Contest Club members K5NA,K5DU,
K5OT, N2LA, WM5R, W5JEN, W5RQ, W5GAI, W5JAW and N3BB. This was a
special meeting put together just because we were in town for a
Bankruptcy Judges' Seminar. N3BB also gave me a tour of his house and
station Sunday and took me to lunch and W5JAW and his XYL, Jan, took me
to dinner Sunday night. This is a great hobby! Thanks Jim and Diana,

Sorry I missed operating activities last weekend. I tried to find a
place to operate the Sprint from here, but was unsuccessful. Hope
everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. In addition to
the Fox Hunt, I'll try to be QRV in the NCCC Sprint, the SAC SSB contest
to some extent, and part-time in the SKS. Look for me and my hand key
for a good laugh. If I hear anyone in the CIS contest, I'll try to give
them a point. 73, John, K4BAI.
