Hi Willis, I always enjoy reading the post contest comments. They can be fun, informative and downright funny. The knob comment was made because his cracked during the contest, irritating, but not the worst that could happen and he pointed that out in a later comment. It was done in good humor I think...
Glad you did well, and sorry we didn't work. Unexpected circumstances kept me from putting in the effort I had hoped, but had a lot of fun working DX on 10 for a change. Had hoped to add something new, but no luck, need seven states for WAS and six countries for DXCC (worked 112 but can't get the QSLs from any of the outstanding ones). Hats off to the Top Band folks, just got card 102 for DXCC LP and all 26 zones worked confirmed... A few K2s and K3s in that lot! See ya in IARU!
