I arrived home about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and checked
my e-mail for the first time all day. There were 41 e-mails
concerning the two generators I'm giving away. I heard from
a bunch of old friends from w-a-y back as well as from
lots of people I've never met. There were messages from
representatives of eight different clubs that are dear to
my heart because they have hosted me as a guest speaker--
and then invited me back to speak a second time!
Here's the list of winners in this early-bird-gets-the-worm
contest.
I posted the offer on the SCCC and WSWSS lists about 2
a.m. The first message arrived at 3:48 a.m. from W6RTW,
who claimed the Makita generator on behalf of the Riverside
(County?) Amateur Radio Club, W6TJ. He or someone
from Riverside will need to make a trip down the 91 soon.
I know some Riverside people get up early to commute
long distances, but 3:48 a.m.???? Good grief!
The second e-mail, posted at 5:54 a.m., was from NT6AA.
He said he'll take either generator, so the Onan is his if
he wants it. The third posting was from K1USC at 6:14
a.m. He wanted the already-claimed Makita. Fourth was
N6VI at 6:17 a.m. He also wanted the Makita. KB6SSF
wrote at 6:24 a.m. to say he would like to have both
generators for the Inland Empire Amateur Radio Club.
From there on, the list reads like the results of Field Day or
the June VHF contest. I think this means both generators
will have good foster homes soon.
Thanks to everyone who sent me a note. I wish I had 41
generators to give away.
73,
Wayne, N6NB
