Thanks to all involved in organizing and ‘pulling off’ the joint convention in Kansas City. It was a lot of work and everyone I spoke with enjoyed it A LOT!
Though I did not help in any way with erection or de-erection of the DKAZ I did enjoy watching TP/DU carriers floating down the screen of Nick’s teeny-tiny laptop this morning. I wish more folks could’ve been there to see it. Pretty convincing evidence of why all MW DXers need a DKAZ of some size in their own backyard. Hope everyone gets home safely and thanks again to those who made it all possible. Bill Whitacre Alexandria, VA — > On Sep 11, 2016, at 9:40 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Good crowd!
