Rumors are that K6LA and K6LL may have slipped the Sempra Energy guys a U.S.
Grant
to kill AC power Sunday Morning at W6YI QTH !
I remember how a few years ago we wouldKen and Dave check into 3830 75 mtr
after contest net
and asked if anyone had heard from Danny, and I would chime in " Hey Ken and
Dave, just add 20 Qs
to your score and U will have Dan's score ! "
