It's KG6OK, not KG6O (over)!!!!! Even after answering my CQ (in which I
sent the call twice) and sending the call again as part of the exchange, a
lot of guys (even some of the pros) still busted it.
There was so much flutter on many 20/40/80 sigs on Saturday evening, I felt
like I was working europeans! Missed NL, although Gus VO1MP did come back
to KG6? but after another 3 minutes of non-stop calling by everybody else,
he got tired of it and QSYed to 15m (where the band was dead here). My
last worked section was SB (!?) which I was sweating over since I didnt
work it until late Sunday.
The only visit by Murphy was that the wakeup alarm clock didnt go off
Sunday morning, but luckly I woke up on my own only fifteen minutes later
than planned.
Thanks to Herb KG6OK for the use of his excellent station.
73 de Doug, N6RT
