Hi Dave, 


I remember K5MDX well from the 1960s CD Parties. 


Just one example, can you find my CW and phone scores?

The operating skill in CD Parties was like no other contest. 
The January 1962 was my first CW CD Party score over 100K, 
a milestone in the development of any CW contester 
60 years ago.

Frank, 


Entered several CD parties as K5MDX years ago. They were fun.
