Comments:
With apologies to Dr. Seuss's "Grinch Who Stole Christmas"...
You're a mean one, 10 Meters.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
10 Meters.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, 10 Meters.
Your freqs an empty hole.
Your band is full of static,
You've got garlic in your soul.
10 Meters.
I wouldn't touch you, with a
sixteen and a half foot dipole.
You're a foul one, 10 Meters.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
10 Meters.
The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

Mults 44 9

I had cleared my calendar of obligations during the day, and I had planned
on operating at least 20 hours in the contest. And the propagation went
nowhere! This defies logic. The solar flux was 89 today with a K index of 1?
And the band stunk? I don't understand it. And on the other hand, the openings
on 80M to Europe at night have been tremendous!
This contest brings back fond memories of finishing my final exams at Cal Poly
Pomona and heading home for a weekend of contesting. The band was good then
(1980-84), though.
