[RTTY] WAEDC contest

[Don Cassel]

 Dick,

Congratulations on the 60th anniversary celebrations. I missed half of
Saturday because our family was celebrating the 65th anniversay of my
in-laws. And at the other end of the spectrum I missed half of Sunday
because we were clebrating the baptism/dedication of our first grandchild.
As much as we get passionate about contesting and QTCs, etc. some things are
even more important.

73, Don VE3XD
