[VHFcontesting] Contest Humor

[Frank M. Huminski]

Congratulations Steve!  Bonnie and I celebrated our 39th anniversary on 
Sept 6th.  She also helps me log, makes iced tea, coffee, meals, snacks, 
brings me a brew - and her call is WB2ALQ!  And she understands RFI 
too.  I'm a lucky guy
73, Frank K2SQS
