You have no idea how excited my wife/logger was when we made a contact with
KB3STA/R. That is just the coolest thing. I think we only got you on 2
meters because we ended up with an impromptu pileup when you QSY'd to 6
meters but it was good to pick you and your daughter up.
Tell her "hi and keep up the good work" from K4GUN/R and his logger K4LIG.
