[CQ-Contest] 2008 CA QSO Party

[Mike/Shelley Ritz]

Andy; 

I prefer to keep my special "upside down" version, which now hangs proudly on my shack wall! I was just trying to figure out if they were all that way, or just mine...... 

As an ex-patriot of CA, (and the NCCC....), I found it really funny. 

Hope to put up a better score in CQP 2009 as I have a much bigger antenna farm this year. Who knows, maybe you guys will have the Oregon state map on next year's awards! ;-). 

73!

Mike, 
I'm the official CQP certificate printer, so if you would like it 
reprinted and a new one sent to you, just let me know. 
On the other hand, you could have a valuable collector's item, like the 
famous "inverted biplane" airmail stamps, that will only increase in value 
over the years.... 
73, andy, ae6y
