[CQ-Contest] Popkin-Grams lurk!

[Chuck K3FT]

I just got back from a surprisingly enjoyable (due to lack of QRN and accompanying brain 
fuzz) session on 15/10M! Due to family acitvities , I'll not be able to finish the WPX 
on Sunday (DARN!) but at least I helped the cause and gave a few WR3 mults to the 
group!

Anyway!  Since a previous guy mentioned Popkin-grams, I thought this might be of 
interest. I noted, early on in the contest, that W2CC spotted OD5/OK1MU at 21448 (I 
believe) and made the comment that 'I'm licking my stamps! ;-)'

I have to wonder.. given the history he has.. was he doing it to WARN us NOT to work the 
guy cuz of the proximity to the upper band edge OR was he telling us about the mult so 
we WOULD work the guy and he could then enjoy sending out another boatload of 'grams?  I 
don't know.

If you were one of then many that worked the OD1 then you may just be graced by a 
Popkin-Gram! If so.. fret not. Frame it and consider it as your membership card to an 
elite group. I don't know what rights and perogatives you can acquire from having one.. 
but they are unique, none the less! :-) 

Anyway.. sure heard a lot of familiar calls from this reflector on the air and worked 
abuch from WR3L. Great to hear you all!
