I should have just said "2 meters" :-)
It was the kid's FIRST QSO for cryin' out loud - I wasn't going to give him
a bad time about the frequency...and I sent a note to the guy I learned was
coaching.
Frankly, the 2-meter simplex frequencies are so dead out here (Seattle) that
even an intruder would be welcome - JUST KIDDING!!
