W7Q Tailings
Folks, many things keep us away the radio. Next year, perhaps? With more preparation. From approximately Tuesday the 14th through this morning the 20th, there were a total of 149 look-ups on QRZ. Cool! I snuck in about 25 or so of those QSO’s during the operating period. So thanks for playing along!
