[NCDXA] K3ZO will be back on the air

[Phillip Barsky]

Gents,   Ulis, your idea is great.  I have Champ's email and he and I had
been conversing about putting some more history of Fred's exploits in the
SE Asia area into the QRZ page. I am expecting a call from Dave Siddall and
I'll ask himi if he has that latest batch of cards. I know we left anything
having to do with Fred in the house when we took all of the QSL Bureau
stuff.
