[NCC] [MRRC] ARRL 10 K8MR SO Mixed LP

[Hal Offutt]

Hi Jim,

Did you miss the first few hours of the contest on Friday night?

I worked 23 FL stations in the first two hours (CW only).  They were all 
running as fast as they could.  They had no trouble hearing me on my 80M 
dipole.  It sounded like the winter version of the FQP.  Not so many FL 
heard whenever I got on later in the contest tho.

73, Hal W1NN
