I hope I never have to operate from anywhere that I have to sign
portable!!!!
I will be hard pressed to operate from a US possession again. The
frequency restrictions are a big disadvantage.
Sorry to those I missed on 80/40/20. I tried 160. I could not get W4ZV
so I figured what was the point! I heard many stations on 75 listening
down but never on their own transmit frequency. Myself and a portable
VP2V called K5ZD for a few minutes with no luck and I tried others.
Those who did worked me. I did try to run but had very little success.
Better luck next time!
It is sure fun being new blood on a band for an hour or so! Huge rate
then nothing. Good thing, I needed to get some sleep!
Packet spotting was not around much when I was at V47 in 86. Being on
the end of a packet spot is incredible. Almost instantly you have 50 or
more people calling. What a rush!
Congrats to all. See you next time
Oh and those needing a QSL please be patient. I am designing the card
as we speak!
