Hmmm, a Worked All Echos's.  Better yet, Worked Every Eco - WEE!

And if we do it QRP it would be QRP-Wee.

I think I'll stop now ...

Hi, Keith,

Yes, us "E's" have to hang together.  Maybe we need an "echo club" or a
"worked all echoes" award? hi

It seemed that a lot of people (most?) didn't bother to call CQ SKN. 
I did, some of the time.  You could pretty well tell that there was a
lot more straight key activity than usual even without the "SKN".

I'd be happy to QSO any time.
