K4GAM	Williamsburg	Here is an old pic of me operating on the York River at Yorktown, VA. I plan to operate between 7.230.00 - 7.260.00. I am really looking forward to this contest as it is my favorite. Little bit about me: I have a hard time working the knobs on the radio because my hands don't work anymore. We still try to get on the radio and talk. Talking sometimes is a problem as I have Traque. Somebody said learn CW. This is great but my hands can't use a key. I still have so much fun with what I have. I ignore my short comings. I have only been a Ham for 11 years, but I have accomplished so much with in the Ham community. So I feel I am not handicapped. Thanks for letting me be a part of this contest. Take care and God bless George Marsh Jr K4gam
