Hi Guys!

        This reminds me of a funny event last December.  I had been chasing
1A0KM for 
several days when he showed up on 1845.0 SSB with a truly 59 signal.  I
worked him
and Francesco (IK0FVC operator) asked me to take a list for him.  Not wanting to
do that, I said "Francesco, you are very strong, but please QSX up so your
frequency
is not covered up with QRM from people calling".  Francesco said, "Can you
pick a 
good frequency for me?"  Without hesitating, I said, "Sure, 1860 should be
very clear
for you in Europe!"  He proceeded to work dozens of stations contest style
and I don't
think it bothered anyone including WA0RCR who was probably watching his
meters dancing
and his tubes glowing!
