[Mldxcc] K1N

[Dick Wilson]

With the MP, I just switch back & forth with A/B VFO. I can
often find station DX is working. Problem with that is most
everyone else is listening, too. Have to see area the DX
is working to see if you have a chance. No use even calling if
all they're working are 4s, for instance.
That said, I was all over calling K1N on RTTY. One op said
QSX .085-.090, AIR. I gave a call a little lower & got Q.
Managed to fill the 5 slots I needed w/ 100 W.
