Listened every morning of their operation for XZ0A in Myranmar.  Heard him
on only six occasions out of thirty possible, usually too weak to move the
S-Meter, with one exception.  The exception was Sunday, the very last day.
On that morning, he was slapping the S-Meter to six, and after he came back
to me I had trouble sending from my new location plastered to the ceiling as
I was.

Robin and Milt certainly have my appreciation for their quality effort.  You
guys provided this modest station with a real thrill, thanks fellas.

73,

P.S.

Also worked 9M0C on their very last day, the day AFTER they were to have
shut down, but the plane was delayed.  I was listening, just in case...

Coach Valvano of North Carlina State made famous the line, "never give up.
NEVER give UP!" while taking a mediocre team to the basketball NCAA national
championship.  They won with a falling to the floor swish as the bell rang.

On one-sixty, remember Coach Valvano   ;-)
