[NCC] Fwd: TBDC K8MR Single Op LP

[Jim Stahl]

As always, good to work the home boys. Very easy to get  NO3M, NA8V and W1NN. K9NW took several tries. KW8N took many tries. Heard W8CAR once doing S&P. WW3S was pretty loud down here, but no QSO. No K1LT?

Stay warm, and enjoy your superconducting antennas!
