Thanks to Frank, N5ZS for the use of his very well equipped station.  =
Had a great time!  Op's were considerate (with the exception of one =
Dx'er on 80M - not a contester) and professional.  Probably will operate =
CQWW CW VERY casually from my little home station and will prepare for a =
big effort from N5ZS for ARRL 160 CW the following weekend.  Thanks to =
all for the QSO'S!!

HIGHLIGHT:  Hearing N5SAM from Oklahoma complete his first sweep...I was =
calling CQ on 40M and a WTX station called me...N5SAM heard him and ask =
for him to "move up two" for the sweep. I told him to work him on my =
frequency and I think I got a bigger kick out of hearing the joy in =
N5SAM's voice than when I worked my own sweep!  N5SAM told me he had 7 =
consecutive participation pins but had NEVER accomplished a sweep.  WOW, =
what a thrill!  Congratulations!!
