Way to go, Gary!

I'll be on Top Band this week, starting this evening, lookin' for QSOs with 
anyone BUT really hoping to have Qs with CT, VT, RI, SC, FL, ME, IN and MD so I 
can complete QRP WAS on 160 meters!

I have a sked with a fella in IN early tomorrow morning - 0100 my time, 0300 
his - so I'll be there if anyone is interested in working me from those states, 
in particular but from where ever.  I'll be operating during the Stew, as often 
as time permits, offering up my 4 points to y'all and certainly hope to work 
lots of you!

72, Jim Rodenkirch, K9JWV
