[SCCC] Fwd: CaQP K6VO(K6NR) SO HP

[Dana Roode]

Better late than never!

Late in the contest after I had worked 1400 contacts or so, I had a KA0
call me with a serial number of 1623. I verified that and then told him "he
had been busy." He said - California was coming in great today.  Who knows
where his 1623 came from.
