[Mike Fatchett]

My first two contacts were VY1JA and a KH6 on 15m.  Nice start albeit a few
hours late. Hi!

I must've gotten lucky for a few minutes.  I worked VY1JA at about 2300Z on
Saturday on 14008 and then about 7 minutes later worked KL7WV on 14009. 
Fully thing was that Jay was asking if there was a KL7 in the pileup because
he hadn't worked that one yet, and there was one up 1 kHz working his own
pileup.

Other than missing NL and MB, every other section else I missed I should've
worked except I didn't have enough time in the contest. I'm ashamed that I
didn't get a Missouri QSO in this one!  :-(
