Hi John, LA2QAA
The week when HO-68 will be scheduled in CW and SSB I will look for you on CW
As soon I will go to the Post Office I will send both QSL cards to you on paper.
 
I am also great fan on you against the AMSAT policy because I was the AMSAT-Italy
President for more then 15 years beginning from 1976 when the future for AMSAT was
bright !

Hello Dom,
              A real pleasure to work you again.

I'm sorry I don't have SSB equipment at the moment ... I was using a 23 year old
FT-290 with a homebrew class-C amplifier.
I think I need to rework it with some bias and make it class-AB for SSB.
I'm a great fan of your microwave comments Dom.

Have a good day.
