LMAO!

When you pull 90 amps in spurts like I did on sideband with a 667V,
it makes me wonder how I didn't pop my airbombs or kill my ECM!
But I was gettin' out!

Also, for a blank sun, DX was rolling pretty good. I made contact
with a guy 8000 feet up in New Mexico. Eight more days to the big
10 meter fest! Hear me there...

So did I, only my guy was in a balloon one year during their annual
balloon fest there. Feds popped some of 'em last year for operating
without a license. Guess that ruins the fun for this year.

I'm thinking we already heard each other...somewhere. Just remind me as
we get closer to your date with destiny on 10. Memory just ain't what it
used to be.
