A Ham in Tikrit, Iraq, Mitch Gill, is going to be looking
for QSOs this fall, and any help to make more. He’s running QRP
right now, would like to improve his antennas. He’s looking to make
nearly 40000 QSOs in a year.
WWDXC received a thank you from VE3TW Stan Leschinsky for

popular at parties where Washington ex-pats can be found, as he can
recite all washington counties by heart.
