Thanks Don for the update. As usual, you're right on top of the issues.
80 meters! That was a real blast! I logged over 100 q's in a little over
one hour. It seemed as though there was a constant flow of loud, very loud
stations.
I took off most of Sunday to watch the Steelers give me a near heart attack
so missed out on a large part of the contest. Still had a great time and am
once again amazed at how there is virtually no freq grabbing in these
contests. I had only one occasion where I ended up calling CQ on top of a 7
lander when there was a major band propagation shift. Sorry 'bout that.
Was purely unintentional.
Now, as soon as I figure out why the mults are registering I'll be ready to
roll.
Take care folks and again, thanks very much for yet another great RTTY
contest! You're a fine group for sure.
Bob, N3FR
