Dave,

I DO recall work you as N4N-poolside, with the xyls serving mixed drinks, between beers and cool off dips in the pool...

I listened for stations and ops in GA, MS, and LA.

I did work my old call K5MDX on two bands but

did not hear W4AN on CW or SSB.

N4N 2 bands heard on 2 more

K4JJ 2 bands heard on 1 more

N4NE 2 bands

W4GR 2 bands heard on 2 more

NF5GA 1 band

W4GTA 1 band

W4KJ 1 band

W4BOC 1 bnad heard on 1 more



I had just worked a LA station when I had a mini pile up of Pacific Stations 

including a VK4, NH6, and KH2JU on Guam between 0548 and 0551Z on June 27.



The two reasons I heard but did not work some stations is they were either 

too weak (maybe twice)

and generally the station was heard S&Ping and never calling a CQ.  I tried 

twice to call CQ field day near where I heard say W4GR but I got so many 

replies from elsewhere that I left that frequency when the callers thinned 

out.  One time I had a run of 24 stations in 15 minutes and the wife was 

waiting for me upstairs.



One pointer is that if a band is open pick a generally clear frequency and 

call CQ.
