Email: Hi Tom, A few weeks ago I
wrote you regarding a KS4BF QSL that you had on your website.
Thanks for the info you sent. I was able to track down one of the
op's from that operation. That was Ed, W4QVJ now, W4GW. He knew
another op that he thought may still have the logs from that
operation. It turned out Dale, W4DQS, now W4QM, still had logs
and QSL's. I was able to confirm that QSO after 41 years.!!
Thanks again for your help, without those callsigns you sent this
would not have been possible. Hopefully we can have another
Eyeball someday. VY 73 es DX, Rick, K7WE.
(Note: Dale W4QM is now sk)
