Personally I got a real kick out of hearing the enthusiasm from
the op in Guantanamo Bay @ KG4GC on 15m with his Sunday
morning shouts between "CQ Contest" of "Hallelujah, Sister" and
"Amen, Brother"! Guess he didn't miss church afterall. . .

On another note, thanks to V73UX for indulging me when I broke
into his pileup on 15m to tell him 10m was open to the Pacific and
Wo4o and asking him to QSY. Soonafter that he found me CQing
on 10m and we made the Q (and new M for me; maybe him, too?)!
