[CQ-Contest] The best...

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

You guys have got to operate with W2RQ.

Many of us from NNJ have grown up in the "shadow of W2RQ" to quote a famous
NCJ article.

He's equally talented at either fone or cw, can work any band in a multi-op,
and has that elusive talent of being able to hold a verbal conversation
while running guys on code.

He's won plenty single-op and been a critical part of many multi-ops
including W2RQ, W2YD, W2PV, K2GL(N2AA), K5NA, N2RM, K3LR, NP4A, V26B, KP2A
et al.

I've known Bill for about 30 years now and notice no difference in his
abilities or tenacity since I first worked him in a CD Party as WB2RKK.

( A little nostalgia there for us O.F.'s).

73,

NJ
