Today I landed in St. Mary's, PA. It was a very short QSO with NM3B/Wayne.  He said the signals were weak and I received a 559 RST.  (Probably generous). I am not feeling 100% due to allergies or something so I didn't feel like talking much anyway.  Still, Saint Mary's, PA is interesting.  It was the home of the oldest Benedictine women's religious order in the United States.  In 2013 the Sisters dissolved the community but the building is still there.  St. Mary's is also the home of Straub Brewery, founded in 1831!  They offer tours and if I ever physically get to St. Mary's I must have a pint!
