George,
In the early 1980s I had the opportunity to attend quite a few FRC meetings
(even a few "meeting B's"). On one occasion, a few days after K2UA's
victorious ARRL CW DX Contest effort in February 1982, Dennis invited me
to his QTH and shared enough secrets with me to aid in our first ever
Multi-multi DX Contest win in the March 1982 ARRL SSB DX Contest!
FRC has even had a few meetings at my QTH, in PVRC territory, south of the
Mason-Dixon Line!
However, I've never felt that any FRC member has ever really opened up the
carefully guarded secret of their club's unparalleled success in DX
Contesting. I hope u don't get drummed out of FRC for letting the cat
out of the bag!
73!

p.s. Do the 10 guys go home before or after the wild sex?

Took off about 1/2 hour during fairly major T-Storm Friday night, and
left the chair several other times for a few minutes, but basically a
full 48 hours of attempting to operate. Noisy on low bands the first
night, somewhat better the second. For low SFI 15 was just fine, and
took pressure off 20. No frequency fights, no cursing from the inhabitants
of 20 and 75 meters, much more enjoyable than what I anticipated. My
rates were down from good years, but some of the guys were hitting all
time peaks, so I guess I wasn't mentally prepared for as good as we got.
Nice to see black hole stations making similar Single Op scores to the
3rd call area scores. This was one of those weekends where there would
have been lots of opportunities for various folks in various locations
to make big scores, if they were committed to all out efforts (and if
we could get John, Randy and Bob to go Multi Multi from up north, in the
same contest)
