Wicked opening... only QSL card I have ever sent for a repeater contact.. LOL!! I remember that opening.  I talked to a guy mobiling around Des Moines Iowa.  He said "um, your machine is covering up the local 2-7."  <grin> I think the last time we spoke was shortly after 9-11... so it's been a while. Seems like I also remember that machine being used to coordinate support for the 9-11 flight that crashed up there. Most on my machines were utilized during the aftermath of the United Flight 93 crash. < It's cool just like it is... we run a CTCSS of 79.7 Cool.  I prefer to keep this one carrier squelch as most of my other repeaters are PL'ed. BTW, wasn't KQ3M your father-in-laws (SK) call or something like that. KQ3M was a dear friend and long time neighbor of mine.  He was Les Trice's uncle, and one hell of a CW operator.  It was he that got my speed up so I could pass the 13 WPM so I could upgrade. My late fathers call, W3WGX, is on another high profile machine of mine. anyway, don't fret about it. But don't be surprised if you hear me giving you a call on your repeater sometime when the conditions are "right".. It has been tempting to do so in the past.. Call any time.  I usually monitor it while I'm here at the computer. Kevin Yahoo!
