[CQ-Contest] QRM in DX Window

[Chet Moore]

Hi Bud,

.

nickel cokes, the 5 cent newspaper and a 10 cent cup of coffee are things of 
the past.

In 30 days, the DX window problem should resolve itself

Those filters are working. If it weren't for the filters most contesters 
have contesters would fill up even more of the bands

Kelly has it right.

No matter how or where you operate, there will always be those who hate 
contests and contesters.


Champions ADJUST !
