Every once in a while you get something that makes it all seem worth while. ------------------------ Colonel Day, I want to convey my thanks for your help earlier this year by ensuring that I had some appropriate study material for an amateur radio license. This morning on my first try I passed the tech license. My younger brother and two friends, who had not considered becoming involved with amateur radio, also passed the tech test. I can assure you that I will soon have a general class license and know the morse code. You can count on my becoming a DXer and contester. Your help and that of the Magnolia DX Association and maybe a little urging from my grandfather (Jim Musgrove) led me down the path. Thanks. Regards, Kaitlyn Musgrove -- Coy Day, N5OK 20685 SW 29 Union City, OK 73090 405-483-5632
