Too bad I did not take note of these two "hams" as I passed through their towns (Don Murray W4WJ Fredericksburg, TX at about 7:00 A.M. on Saturday morning 8/15/09 on Highway 290-stopped there for coffee at the Old German Bakery and Restaurant, then topped off the tank. At about sunset later that day, passed through Tucson, home of Harold W. Deppe NY7Y Tucson, AZ). <BR>
<BR>
Better planning the next time.<BR>

Was just talking with Tim Stoffel, NS9E, Reno, NV, who mentioned that there's an ARRL contest starting today:<BR>
<BR>
2009 September VHF QSO Party second full weekend of September. <BR>
Begins <B>1800 UTC Saturday and ends 0300 UTC Monday (September 12 - 14, 2009).</B><BR>
<BR>
Maybe we can make it a Quad QSO contest at the same time? <BR>
Talk about your favorite machine, log the make and model and your least favorite problem... and report the results on Tuesday.<BR>
