[MiQP-Mail] Mackinac 50th Certificate

[Hal Offutt]

Double Yikes!  Todd's message reminded me that this year is the 50th
anniversary of my being licensed.  Gulp.

OK, then.  I hearby announce a special certificate for anyone who works
suffixes that spell "Fiftieth Anniversary of the Licensing of K N EIGHT H V 
T in
Nineteen Fifty Seven."

(Oh yes, there will be a small charge for S&H - say, ummm, fifty dollars.)

Todd, I hope you can join us again this year.  You were missed last year.

73,

Hal W1NN (a fellow solo mobiler)
