[SCCC] Fwd: SS SSB W6PNG SO Unlimited HP

[Paul Gacek]

That really was fun and a real tonic for the world we seem in inhabit nowadays!!

I worked a few SCCC stations and its always pleasant to recognize calls, sometimes a moment too late.

I loved having NT come back to my CQ and working EB on 15m mid morning off the side of my little beam was memorable. Just as I started struggling with VY2WW in PE, he called for 6s and 7s and I was straight in. Good timing! Never managed SB or SJV despite trying the former a few times.

Laguna Beach is lovely but Irvine is better and as the real estate world likes to say, it’s location, location, location....
