W8KIT Operation

[john]

Thanks for the opportunity Randy, it was a pleasure working you Saturday
afternoon, and I'd sure encourage you to try again when the mood strikes
you. You had a great signal down south here.

QSL and SASE are on the way, and thanks for the work you did to
get the station on the air.

and possibly a linear amplifier. Our problem with using an amplifier is due
to the construction of the building, running an AC line which could handle
the extra current may be a problem.
