to have a few days away from the hospital rat race, so I will
take an antenna. I will be only barefoot so it will primarily
be a CW operation when time permits. I would like to also take
this oportunity to thank all those wonderful people who have
sent us their kind thoughts over the last months. My wife is
especially grateful to the many who sent personal emails."
