[FQP] Thank You

[Christopher Blake]

Taylor,
First- we can certainly agree that SSCW is #1 in both our books! See you in
Nov OM...

Now, FQP is right up there for many folks - it is especially nice to hear
from our out-of-state friends that enjoy FQP so much.  You guys are *the*
reason our FL ops get on from home, go on the road, go camping, or just
make a special day-trips or special stops at a rare county.
And in return we get what every contest craves - more QSOs from folks like
you!  :-)

Many thanks for the nice comments - we always appreciate them. See you
again next year in the Florida QSO Party!

vy 73,
Chris, NX4N
