[CQ-Contest] The OO Strikes Back

[Fred NA2U]

A similar situation on 15m.  I was involved in one where the DX was actually 
listening up out of the band!  I wasn't paying close enough attention but 
geez I had a lot of company up there.  In any case, better from the OO than 
the FCC.  I'm still watching my mailbox, though......

73,

p.s.  It's no accident that I don't use two radios for contesting!
