[VHFcontesting] [VHF] 73 de KX9X

[Les Rayburn]

Sean--

I think most VHF Operators would join me in echoing Steve's high praise 
for the work you've done. I'm a history buff, and have read everything I 
can get my hands on about the pioneering days of the World Above 50 MHz,
including nearly all of the QST columns. Up until the mid-1970's it was 
common for the league to refer to the collective "us" as the VHF Gang. 
And to individual operators as "VHF Men". It was understood
that the title had to be earned by your achievements on the ultra-highs.

Sean, you're a VHF Man, in every since of the world. Hope that you can 
convey some of your love for this frequency range, and the unique 
challengers that lie there.

Hope you're missed at the Contest desk, but not on the air. Thank you 
for all that you did for us.
