Most Clever Suggestion
----------------------
In a recent storyline I had Dilbert and Wally trying to figure the best
engineering work-around for the keyboards that were missing the letter Q.
Gary Jensen, a man with too few things to think about, wrote with this
solution:
1. Type the letters "KW" in place of "Q"
2. Run "spell check" and the computer will replace KW
with Q
-------------------
Sounds like people ought to replace those Q(RP) rigs with KWs!

Simple enough. The score:
164 QSO x 83 Grids = 15,355 pts.
6m: 115 x 67
2m: 31 x 9
432: 15 x 5
902: 1 x 1
1.2: 2 x 1
Excuse #1:
Plus 2 neighbors in a highly aroused state of indignation. Something
about my 250w on 6m liked to get into the TV, the phone lines, etc., etc.
Excuse #2:
Total operating time? 9 hours. 0015Z - 0915Z. Around 1530Z, a thunderstorm
with 70+mph winds grabbed the tower and folded the mast over 120 degrees
from vertical. I spent all day Sunday lowering antennas to the ground.
As K5LLL is somewhere in Singapore, station K5LLL/KK5DK will be out of
operation for a while. Sigh.

Speaking of CW being obsolete...
Why do VHF operators have such an aversion to CW? In my limited experience
in VHF contesting, (this year & last year in June contests), some of the
big gun stations could make a lot more qso's if they would try CW a little.
Both this year and last on 2m, I listened to many guys endlessly calling cq
on ssb while myself (and other small stations) tried calling them. Often,
I think using CW would be the difference in making the qso...especially
when the band is dead, with only weak tropo condx. Occaisionally I managed a
cross-mode qso.
This was the second year that AA9D couldn't hear me...
