I thank you and hope your dose of 6m JA exhilaration comes shortly, 
Clark.  My head got too big for my headphones when I opened the envelope 
from JA7QVI and saw the SAE and dollar bill and the note on the back of 
the QSL which reads, "Dave, 1st WV on 6m! Tks!"

I reflected a moment that my station seems to be working pretty well. 
Then I saw that 'QVI was using an IC-7700, IC-PW1 amp and a *nine 
element M2 yagi at 30 meters".  Talk about aluminum at altitude!
I should have been suspect when WA8JOC worked him off the back of his 
antenna.

73,
