[FQP] FQP 2010 Thanks

Mon Apr 26 17:47:59 PDT 2010

Many THANKS to the Rovers and other ops for their QSO's.

My voice was'nt up to par while recovering from a touch of bronchitis AND the storm that blew threw here managed to cause way too high vswr's on my vertical or coax?. I'm glad that I still had the 75m hanging from the trees and use of my tuner.

73's and Thanks again.

Bob KF4DVG, Santa Rosa County, FL
