[NCC] Fw: CQWW VHF W1NN SOSB/6 LP

[Hal Offutt]

Mark,

Thanks for the correction.  Yes, disappointing.  If he was saying "W4 stroke 
ZS2M" I didn't catch it.  Someone at Tim's on Friday mentioned that JA's 
were recently working stations in FL on Six, so I thought that the W-ZS path 
might be feasible.  I guess not.

73, Hal
