Comments:

Fun!  As a member of the Deep Dixie Contest Club (DpDxCC), (other participating
members were:  Dr. Tor Clay, K4AFE (using our club call of KD5DD); John McVey,
K4AFE; Jim Rosser, AD5TT; Mike Duke, K5XU; and moi...I'm very glad to have made
QSOs with many of you.  Thanks for your hospitality during the contest.   I
heard only a few LIDS who were exercising their 'nutness.'  We just ignored
them and went forward with our exchanges.

Major congratulations to all the newcomers to this year's WPX. Lots of calls
that don't show up in the CHF.  So, that's a great sign.  And, we slowed down
for many who seemed to struggle with speeds greater than 30 wpm, but we were
glad to do so!

BARELY missed 1000 Qs.  I should have operated a couple more hours, just to get
over the line.  However, on Friday morning, my heart stopped for 4 minutes! 
Thank goodness that I wear an ILR (Implantable Loop Recorder), so my
cardiologist saw the alarm come up.  He told me to take it easy this
weekend...and nothing soothes my soul as much as woodworking and CW!  Glad to
still be here.  But, I can tell you -- I have a whole new reason to attack life
and try to accomplish many of the things on my list before they close the lid in
my face.  I'm 69 and my dad was killed at 69 when my 110' tower fell on him. 
I've lived a fuller life at 69 than he did, but I have SO much more to
accomplish!  Thanks for each QSO that gave me a special feeling of peace in my
heart, helping me to stay connected with friends around the world via CW.
Beats social media anyday!

73,
