[RTTY] BARTG CONDX

[Fabi]

Yep, I agree with Don,
we can't be too choosy, remember 5-6-7 years back when 20M was the ONLY band until 40 and 80 would open up later in the evening? We still had a blast. Let's take advantage of what we can right now! 
See you in Bartg Tom (and all), have fun.

> Tom, don't despair. Contests have a knack for "opening" the bands. There have been several M class flares in the past five days, but the forecast is for low A and K index numbers this weekend and a SFI of around 140. Even though this isn't a great number, it should be enough to allow paths on ten meters this weekend.
