[CQ-Contest] KQ2M 50th Anniversary today!

[kq2m at kq2m.com]

On August 10, 1973, I received my Novice license and called my first CQ. 
  (You were supposed to log your CQ's back then and I dutifully logged my 
first CQ on 80 M.  LOL!)

50 years, all 340 countries and some 1,000,000+ qso's later, I can 
truthfully say that this is the most amazing hobby with some of the most 
amazing people that I have ever met.  Radio and Contesting have become 
so inextricably intertwined with my life, that it is impossible to 
imagine how different and poorer it would have been without them, and 
without the countless friendships that I have made and experiences that 
I have had.

Thank you all for being a part of it!
