[CQ-Contest] VY1AAA

[Dick Stepanian]

Gerry,
   Always good to work NT, whether CQP or SS, so glad you were on.  Sure
sorry to hear about J's retiring - wish him the best from all of us.  Have
appreciated his Q's over the years - and VY1AAA has been frosting on the
cake.  Thanks Gerry.

73,
Dick - W6TK
