N7ZG asked "During SS, where do the rare Canadian mults hang out and at what time?" As a certified SS CW (I say again, CW) Little Pistol, I've thought about that for MANY years. Back around 1967 I as

A few thoughts on this thread. 0. I'm assuming that we are working with the rules as-is. Changing the rules is a different discussion. 1. 1600 does seem like a lot of QSOs. I'll have to see what frac
