Topband: Spring Stew Perry

[Gary Smith]

I'm about to pull the plug, sun is out here and my short nap in the 
wee AM didn't help much. Excellent Jim made his QRP contact with CT, 
nice to get something difficult, accomplished.

Best distance for me at my 99W was T32CO. Missed a few stations that 
couldn't hear me, especially a bunch of EU on early in the test. Did 
get Italy though.

Going QRT

73,
