Hi Bud,
.
nickel cokes, the 5 cent newspaper and a 10 cent cup of coffee are things of
the past.
In 30 days, the DX window problem should resolve itself
Those filters are working. If it weren't for the filters most contesters
have contesters would fill up even more of the bands
Kelly has it right.
No matter how or where you operate, there will always be those who hate
contests and contesters.
Champions ADJUST !
