Hi Carl,

It'd be just great to hear you on Topband with that 210 rig...

As for garnering W.A.S. during the QSO Party, I should forewarn you: historically I don't think ANYONE has EVER netted 60 (or more) QSOs during the entire two-weekends of the event! The west coast is only now beginning to make its presence known in the past few years in the person of Steve (VE7SL---forgive me if I have your callsign incorrect, Steve). Most activity is from the north-eastern USA, although there IS a VERY strong contingent that joins the group from the mid-west.

No matter, it's a laid-back, leisurely, fun exercise, & it'd be nice if you could join the fray, Carl.
