Mike,

You convinced me. Next week when I'm in EL29, I will run as much power
as I can to make sure you get that grid, being as it is so rare. Even
if other stations want to work me, I will bust through them with my
super-rover antenna array just so we can make contact.

Thanks for setting me straight!
