[Skimmertalk] Skimmer Experiance: 160M and 10M

[Jamie Dupree NS3T]

I'll take these contacts as Pete N4ZR reviewed them.

>From 2139 to 2142, I might well have been CQ'ing as Pete
theorized.  I know I was calling CQ on 40 without any luck.
My only contact during this time was a QSO on 20 meters,
which probably means that was on my second radio.  Most
likely I was calling CQ high in the band, and it could have
been way up at 7086.  I was not calling CQ down at 7025 I bet.

I have 9 contacts in my log as I worked my way up the band.
I am very sure I was not calling CQ.
