Bagged two Route 66 special station calls [1] tonight. Flagstaff, AZ (W6G) on 20 meters (14.25700) and St. Louis, MO (W6P) on the 40 meter band (7.27300). I was happy to get W6P tonight after unsuccessfully trying to get through last night. Only four days left to collect them all.

My dad loves u huh?
LOL. I don’t know about that. He did spend half a day giving me a tour of his shack and environs. He was really patient and a great teacher. All I did was mention that I thought I’d find the hobby enjoyable since I spent most of my [brief] military career as a ratelo. He also gave me some parting gifts in the form of a study guide and old issues of QST.
Now that I can reach out that far, I need to go hunting for him on the air.
I am remembered as an awesome ratelo because of what you (briefly) taught me.
You’re also remembered as a dead sexy redneck in various locales in the general Baumholder area…which I also take all the credit for.
Wow! And there was only 120 pounds of dead sexiness then. I’ve added an (admittedly unneeded) [and perhaps detracting from the sexiness]{while contributing to the whole “dead” thing} 50 more pounds since then!
