Soapbox:
My first clean sweep! Stumbled upon HI, AK, and Yukon and got them with
relative ease. I desperately looked for SF for the sweep and almost lost
out. I couldn't find them, so I let them find me. Running on 20min the
waning moments of the opening to CA, I bagged two SF QSOs! Close call!
The open-sleeve 80m dipole from July 95 QST kicks butt!
My check and labels are on their way for the pin and MUG!
