[RDXA] FW: TNX QSO during NYQP; I was 1/2 Watt Rock Mite! Can I get a QSL?

[Paul Mackanos - K2DB]

I love getting e-mails like this, he had fun, I had fun and I got a contact.

I checked my log this morning, and sure enough, KA8JBY is in there from
Colorado on 7028.63 @ 0134Z!!

Totally amazing that I am calling CQ on his Crystal Frequency !!!!

This is having fun with a hobby !!

Of course I will QSL !!

Hi, I'm Rob (KA8JBY).

I just happened to hear N2Q calling CQ tonight during the NYQP when I fired
up my Rock Mite 40.  And you heard me!  (20 Oct 2013 ~0135 UTC)

I was running 1/2 watt into an end-fed half wave in a tree in my front yard
(~25 feet).  So you had really good hearing.

I'd like to get a QSL card if I could.
Should I send mine & SASE to you @ the address listed on your QRZ.com page?

I like to commemorate all my RM contacts because it still kills me that I
can make contacts with a 1/2 Watt XTAL controlled radio.

Vy 73, 72,

Rob
