Actually I think they are being transmitted; alot of guys answering me have
2 extra characters before my call. Can't tell for sure but it sure looks
that way. The dribble over SO2R is bad enough, cant wait to see what happens
when the masses find out you'll be using 3 radios!. I hope for a full time
effort in WPX. I've always been in Florida that week but since my older boy
is in college now, we had to go a different week. If I've been on in the
past it's only been for a few hours late Sunday. Looking forward to some
better conditions than today...73
