5312 on the air

John Wiener
What a great Father's Day.  Thanks to Don and Gary and countless  
others, my errors have been corrected and I'm on the air with K2  
#5312.  First QSO was with K4RGR on 20M.  Not exactly DX from Ohio  
but I'll take it.

Two thoughts come to mind: one will date me ... "what a long, strange  
trip it's been"
and "yes, it DOES take a village"  There, I got Jerry Garcia and  
Hilary R-Clinton in one sentence.  A dubious result.

What I'm trying to say is a big THANK YOU to everyone in the group  
who actively or passively followed along on my rather circuitous  
route to finishing my kit.

Don, I thanked you and Gary on eham, as well.

I really needed and appreciated the encouragement I received.  Not to  
mention the incredible depth of technical saavy.

I must warn you, I still have to install various add-ons and, of  
course the tuner and amp.  So, don't leave the theater yet.

I'm sure to screw up again.

John
