Yo...
In case you missed it, it was awesome...!  The first Microwave_Activity_Days
of 2002.

I got to work guys on all 10 bands today between 0730 and 1130 or so.
Many thanks to all participants, and to those whose thoughts were with us,
but couldn't make it on due to some lame excuses.

But wait...there's a 2nd chance!...fire up your microwave stuff on Monday
nite, between 1900 es 2300 local.  You only have one weekend (complete with
daylight) left before the VHF SS.  Shake all the spiders out of your coax!
Excorcise the gremlins!  Tune for max smoke!

It was really fun for me in FM19ha...worked W3RJW for the 1st time on 10G
(Ron was LOUD).  WA3PTV waw S8-9 on 10G from FM19.  Had a nice armchair
ragchew with W3HMS on 3456 es 5760 SSB es then FM!  Worked several rats on
3456, 1296, 903, 432, es 144.260.  AA3GN was LOUD on 2304...nice!  Condx
were about average...up es down.  W3KM was anywhere from S0 to S5 on 23cm.

Thanks, guys for the checkout...I now know what I need to tweak for the
contest....we just got to keep the roads clear of that white stuff.

Tnx es 73,
Bill W3IY/R
