Just a short note that it's much better to take larger antennas whenever
possible in order to QSO those stations that are at difficult distances. I am
at a difficult distance from those grids. Small antennas will not cut it for
me. I may have to wait until someone takes large antennas and makes a concerted
effort to work stations such as mine.
