Hmmm, a Worked All Echos's. Better yet, Worked Every Eco - WEE!
And if we do it QRP it would be QRP-Wee.
I think I'll stop now ...

Hi, Keith,
Yes, us "E's" have to hang together. Maybe we need an "echo club" or a
"worked all echoes" award? hi
It seemed that a lot of people (most?) didn't bother to call CQ SKN.
I did, some of the time. You could pretty well tell that there was a
lot more straight key activity than usual even without the "SKN".
I'd be happy to QSO any time.
