Comments:
Like the Stew Perry, the Makrothen is a great idea that lacks critical mass,
thanks to failure of its sponsor to promote it. 15 QSOs per hour from a very
good station doesn't cut it! I took a nap and got up at 1:30 am to work JAs,
and they were all working Oceania DX. I made 12 QSOs in 90 minutes.
There was a saying among the great vaudeville comedians that when they showed up
to perform at a venue and the audience was thin that "the must have snuck
into town," meaning that the promoter who had hired them had failed to
advertise (promote) the event. This is a large part of the problem with
Makrothen. The failure extends to clubs like NCCC, of which I am a member.
73, Jim K9YC
