COMMENTS::
Some day/contest I am going to get it right! Art N2AU and realized we did
not spend nearly enough time on 80 and to a lesser extent on 160.....but
that realization did not happen until it was too late. Only problem we had
was that we lost our packet because teenage son needed his laptop for a
school project starting early Sunday afternoon. I have been unable to get
TR and my Kam talking, hence the laptop.....really need to work on that!
Art did a great job as usual and was a pleasure to have around. We hit most
openings, except 160/80 and never lost our collective sense of humor. This
low profile 2 op MS is pleasurable indeed.
Only comment I would make is that the number of people who come on your run
frequency without any warning and open up with braying CQs, seems to be
increasing. It is often done by people who should know better. If I hear
you at a S8 level, I know you can hear me. A certain N3 club compatriot
came up on frequency one 20 meter morning and tried to usurp the frequency.
For 30 minutes he logged stations that were actually working me as those
stations in Europe acknowledged my call. I suspect that at least 25
incorrect calls resulting in score reductions are now in that log. 5 over 5
over 5 does not give one the God given right to take over a frequency from
anyone! Is it too much to ask for a "?", ".." "QRL" or such?
I apologize to anyone who I interfered with, as I did not hear your response
to my frequency interrogations.
Very happy to have so many 6 banders....P40W was the first
73 to all
